#CD32 I have One 🙂
Well Guys & Gals
I have just received my CD32 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took only one day to get from England to here in Hong Kong !! now thats
what I call fast…. and who says mail order is slow :^)
Well the run down….
First impression…. well I'm gob smacked 🙂
The machine…..
Contrary to other reports the build quality is fine, the lid is solid
enough, and not flismy. The rest of the machine is fine… no rough edges,
no bad fittings. Overall it looks really smart.
The main machine itself is made in the Phillipenes whereas the joypad is
made in China (I have a feeling it's made by the quickshot people, as they
have a very large factory in China).
The joypad is great, I used to hate the things, but this one sits in the
hand really nicely.
I have it connected up to my 21" TV through the S-Video output, and have
the sound running through a rather large Amp 😛
The games….
Well it comes with Diggers & Oscar – both are on the one disk.
Diggers I haven't really tried out yet so I can't really give an opinion,
although from what I have seen the graphics & sound are superb. The one I
did try out was Oscar…. this is a great platform game, colourful
graphics lots of music & sound effects… overall great fun to play
(although I have only spent 30 minutes playing it so far).
I also have Trivial Pursuit, which I bought for use with my CD Rom drive
attached to my 3000T, problem is it never worked, as the Xetec software
couldn't support this disk.
Well I can now use it ! so if anyone is a fan of Trivial Pursuit, GET this
disk… it's excellent, it's real fun to play, the questions are spoken
and you get great pictures with every question (they actually look 24bit
on the TV, they are so clear).
Well all I can say is, I can't wait for Syndicate, Alien Breed II, Pinball
Fantasies, etc, etc :^)
If you can get your hands on one… then get it, you won't be
disappointed. it's certainly the machine to carry the Amiga forward (in
the publics eye), and get the Name more widely recognised.
