Guy Wright Interview - Submit your questions.
« on: October 12, 2003, 12:26:10 PM »
Since we alread did Carl Sassenrath and  Dave Haynie we now have lined up a 'new oldie' for you ...

Guy Wright:

"I don't know if anyone would be interested in hearing anything I have to say about Commodore, the Amiga, or CDTV (being somewhat on the peripheral), but I was one of the team members on the CDTV project and did produce the first Welcome Disc (yes it was me who forgot to delete that invoice and a font set that Commodore had to pay for, and my name is in the ROMs you can see with that convoluted cookie). For those old enough to remember, I was Technical Editor and Technical Manager of RUN Magazine in 1983 and then later, founding Editor-in-Chief of AmigaWorld Magazine.
 
I'm not really a hard-core hardware person, couldn't tell you how to re-build a motherboard or things like that, but for what it's worth, I wrote a lot about the Amiga and was close to a lot of the people before and after the Amiga launch. "

Hi,

You did the welcome disc for the CDTV and started the one for the CDTV CR but why not the CD32?
Why didnt Commodore want a nice snazzy welcome disc for the CD32?

Also fancy giving a list of everything Commodore Amiga relaited you own?
I know you have a CDTV CR, CR welcome disc but what else? Amiga Nyx? CD32 CR?  ;-)

How do you view the passion that some people have, even now, for the Amiga? Do you share that passion to any extent?

Why was the cdtv put into the world as a games machine / toy? , it seems no one took it serious untill very late (too late) of the time it was available.


why was'nt the Cdtv based around KS2.x ? , since amiga3000 was allready the next big thing at commodore, but cdtv was launched with ks1.2/1.3 and a special ??1.4 rom??


How was it to be a part of the worlds first cd driven gamestation? / multimedia box / commodore's most sexy creation ever.

Do you follow what's happening in the Amiga community today? AmigaOne / Pegasos / AROS / Amithlon / WinUAE. If so, what do you feel about it all?

What do you currently work with?

Do you work on any projects (private or otherwise) that's related to the Amiga or any of its current offsprings (MorphOS etc).

Having worked both at Commodore and at computer magazines, did your views on C= change when you worked on AmigaWorld

Did C= provide enough information to the press?

Was there a widespread "keep it secret" attitued on C=, even among the employees?
