John, Okay, I'll change and agree: you could make a rough app using an A2500/30… or even a nice one given enough time. And with a good digitizer setup and either AmigaVision or something else, anyone could theoretically do so. You could do the same with an inexpensive computer for CD-I. As I said, you can even develop on the player itself if you wished… or on an Amiga if you wished to cut video quality. That's been partially done before by both Electronic Arts and Aegis for CD-I demos. But the really decent stuff is going to need studios, emulation equipment, very good digitizing hardware, and staff. By decent I mean discs which'll give the machine a good reputation. Someone will need to convince a mastering company to accept this stuff, tho. I really do wonder if CBM has plans up their sleeve for this. <grin> I can see it now: Dad makes interactive video of his kids' life… sends it and $1499 to CBM for a dozen discs to give to relatives. Seriously. Almost. 😉 This could give new meaning to boring home movies. "Okay, now you click here to hear his first words….."
