cd32 wasn't a bad console, it was just realized to late and the internals was too old ! not to mention a really crap upgrade path and software support! |

The CD32 has no RGB out, right? Then... it's uber crap.

So since you can install Linux and connect a keyboard and mouse to the PS3, it's a computer?

the amiga is a computer for sure, you can program it etc just by typing things in! if you want to make a ps3 game for example you would have to buy extra kit to do it!

Amiga is without discussion (and any discussion about it is STUPID) a computer.
CD32 was a lousy attempt to make a nice computer into a console (and CDTV an even lousier) |

jokes aside, something like that in fact killed the Amiga and kept computing back at least 10 years

LOL, yes. Commodore killed itself. The Amiga died a "naturally" death, the 2D aera (exception was the gameboy) was over in 1997.
I would prefer a Amiga with CD-Rom and a plain (unexpanded) CD32, if i really need to play CD32 games. |

I remember back in the days when I was at school, people were buying PCs. Whenever I suggested that they should buy an Amiga, they all said Amiga's are gaming machine.
![]() Anyway, regarding the poll... It is silly... Computers (including an Amiga) are not consoles... PCs have many games, but they are not consoles even if you hide the keyboard. |

I suppose the definition of a console is an non-expandable static gaming construct.
![]() heres one... only comes with a few games and you cannot buy any more games for it. I actually used to have one of these ![]() |

![]() ![]() Yeah I still get the 'it's a games console' carp too and it does my head in. Did a lot with mine before I got a PeeeCeee - word processing, graphics, BBS malarky... ah those were the days. The only thing I never liked on the Amiga was web surfing. Not much fun on a 6mb A1200 and nout else ![]() The only reason I got a CD32 over a 1200 is because all the AGA stuff I like I've got for the CD32. No messing with floppies and easy to work with - get the extra's bits with cd32 aga stuff too ![]() I would've gone with WHDLoad but again it comes down to expense and it would've cost a few hundred (memory expansion/accelerator/harddisk) for that which is pointless as I tend not to use my Amiga's 'that' much these days with work and what not. |
