I agree on the majority of what you say, however you'd have thought that those games which don't use the special hardware in the CD32 (Akiko chip) will probably run on a CD-ROM base Amigas. The software houses should think about marketing this fact to the buying public. They are singing the praises of CD-ROM's right now, so why not start offering it to a wider market; those Amiga owners with CD-ROMs, but not CD32s. Sure the games wouldn't be as inpressive as native CD32 games, but I'm sure there are more Amiga owners with CD-ROMs than there are CD32's at the moment. When this situation changes, why not release two versions of the game (I don't know whats involved in coding the new hardware, so this may mean a complete re-write and hence be too expensive to implement) on the same CD-ROM for both CD32 users and CD-ROM users opening the product up to more potential users and hard cash for them (which is what motivates everyone in the computer industry apart from us small-timers <g>). Just my opinion 🙂 Kevin 68030/40 A1200… Flying AutoPilot from Surrey in the UK
