Seedy dirty two.

Or 'the first 32bit console ever that flopped' unfortunately.

Well... I wouldn´t say that it "flopped"... Apparently it sold really good, but Commodore didn´t have the money to produce enough of them... Sure, many software developers just transferred their disk-based games to cd, without any improvement, but a bunch of them did "real" cd-games...

i dont think the cd32 flopped at all, its just that while its user base was still growing commodore went bankrupt, and rumours of this new super console with built in FMV called the playstation didnt help this either

but a flop it wasnt, selling 70,000 units over christmas 93 alone  :-D
