This may sound off the wall, but I think we should start watching the sega I think they have their act together and if they ever decide to go into the home computer market they could be something to deal with in the future. Do you remember when japan made those cars that people laughed about, well nobodys laughing anymore. Did anyone check out their new product the saturn they had some new games Virtua fighters, Daytona 75 other games by the end of the year and they looked awesome. They even made a deal with an airline to use their product, people playing sega games while flying. now that's creative thinking. Do you think the emplant board can emulate the saturn? If so some people at sega will be awfully mad.(wishful thinking) now what if they decide to hook a device to the saturn to make it a computer, do you think any of the people who own this would want to run out and get an ibm. I think alot of things are going to happen to the computer market in the next 2 years, CBM may have just been the first one shot before the real war or wars start. A REVIEW IN GAMEFAN MAG. word for word "One thing GameFan readers might not be aware of is that the UK, and Europe for that matter, has droves of loyal (and misguided) Commodore fans. Couple the Amiga name with the so-called glamour of CD ROM and you have a machine that's currently outselling the Mega CD. So far, around 80-100,000(that's a hell of a lot more than 3DO) of these shoe boxes have made it into unfortunate households, but it finally looks like there might be some decent software on the horizon." I got a new name for the amiga- Rodney Dangerfield.

> Couple the Amiga name with the so-called glamour of CD ROM and > you have a machine that's currently outselling the Mega CD. So far, > around 80-100,000 Your numbers may be a bit high. Commodore in their 2nd quarter statement admited sales of the CD-32 had been "poor". All the numbers I've seen floating around seem awfully inflated. I vaugly recall the correct number was closer to 30,000 sold. — Andrew

100,000 would be poor for that machine. Dale L. Larson R360: You hit 23 Enemy Virtua Formula: 1/8 Intangible Assets Manufacturing AS-1: Most qualified
