Yep, as a gaming platform it was very big. Many stores carried them. It was MYER where I saw the CDTV, and CD32 for the first time. Not at the same time obviously. Can't remember the store at which I first saw the A3000 but I do remember the amount of drool. The A500 was promoted heavily as a gaming computer. I remember even one of the Kmart TV promos covering all of their various departments included a quick shot of the A500 and some gameplay for 'Entertainment'. I think even the 5 A600's sold were all in Australia
The Amiga also did well as the system to apply to any use you can think of, as it was relatively inexpensive. Megatron in Victoria was the official distributor and repair centre and they had them working everywhere.
For the longest of time, through most of the 90's in fact, the screens on all of Melbourne's inner-city train stations displaying current and next train times was run by A500's. I've seen A500's used as automated watering systems in agriculture. People treated it as an embedded system.
Movielink, HQ in Toorak, the largest supplier of hotel in-room entertainment systems in Australia was using using 1200's for the interactive menu system. They had over 1000 in the field.
I remember when Petro came out he was very unhappy that the largest order of 1200's that year was Megatron outfitting Crown Casino's many electronic gaming systems, but no one will actually see the Amiga brand
So yeah, they did OK.
