Few points on the gaming side of thing.  

Alfred chicken surely isn't a 16bit game as it was A1200 only (apart from the CD32 version but you know what I mean).  Surely this makes it 32bit if your saying that the 1200 and cd32 were 32bit.  

Akira is shown as a 5gen console game on the CD32.  OK it was avaiable for the CD32 but it was a direct port of the A500 verison so hardly a 5th GEN game.  The same goes for A-Train on PS, surely there are hundreds of better examples of playstation games.

I think it would be better to show games that pushed the hardware or were specifically designed for the hardware not games that have been ported.

And while speaking about the CD32 surely its more 4th GEN over 5th GEN.  Afterall was it not meant to rival the Mega CD and CDI's of this world.

OH and your CD32 - Alien Breed should be Alien Breed 3D

Thanks for your points, I have some corrections to do ;)

I was surprised at the CD32 being fifth generation, but a few sources including wikipedia have it as fifth generation. I know Wiki is not the greatest, but are there were some good arguments.

Perhaps I should host a poll on the matter.

In writing the site, I was amazed at how many games were ported than originals on the platform. When I was growing up, I was always attracted to the games that showed off the Amiga like F/A-18.

Again, thanks for your corrections!
