#CD32 Stuff
5 messages in this thread
The bit below is part of a post I did on the Amiga Echo, but I thought
you'd like this bit :^)
The one thing that I found most interesting was the bit about Commodore's
advertising in the UK (YES they are doing it)! One of the things they have
been doing is plastering large Hoarding signs all over the place – get
this – they placed a LARGE advert on the hoarding right outside the main
entrance of Sega's headquarters in London !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laugh – I
nearly died :^)
There is a picture in AF showing the main building with Sega in large
letters on the side of the buliding – and the hoarding. The advert says
"To be this good will take Sega ages" on the right hand side is a picture
of the CD32 console, with the words under it, "Amiga CD32".
It's placed so that the Sega employee's would see it every day they went
to work 🙂
Now if that's not Commodore's way of saying "Spin on this" I don't know
what is.
Finally news of the Amiga CD only magazine, apparently the original issue
never got into print (it was supposed to have started last year) – but all
is not lost, the new CD magazine will be going on sale in April, it has no
title at the moment, but is being published by the same people who do
Amiga Format (and Amiga Shopper, Amiga Power). It will have a cover
mounted CD with the latest game demo's and public domain games. The
magazine will also cover things relating to the FMV module as well.

Of course, on the other hand, Commodore had sublet much of it's West
Chester manufacturing/warehouse floorspace to Software Etc., and many
employees walked by dozens of palettes of Sega Genesis systems on the way
through the building each day for months.

Gee, now if they'd only take those same advertising $$ and place ads where
they might actually attract a new customer… like, say, in the US? <g>
If I remember rightly, this is not the publisher who had their advert put
into the CD32 box. Presumably this means that I have lost the money I sent
to them for a subscription.

Tim,
Interesting news. 🙂 BTW, What's "Hoarding"? I figure that's one of those
UK terms that cause so much fun for us USA English speakers…
