In the January AmigaWorld there is an advertisement by Psygnosis (big game company — always has hot graphics and never recognizes a second disk drive 8) saying that the product will be available for the Amiga and for CDTV. Commodore seems to have gotten game company support, at least. It also seems that they are convinced the product will be released soon. — Ethan

My God! What next, will Psygnosis games work right on an 030? — Ethan

"Awsome" actually works fine on the 3000 (under 1.3). BEN Leigh's Computer's

No you are not! Go seek the dealer who sold you the program and explain that Psygnosis HAS released an updated disk 2!!! (call 'em they'll tell ya). BEN Leigh's Computer's

Ben, Unfortunately, I've gotten the updated disk and, well, I still have problems. I guess I'm going to give up on this one. <sigh> Psygnosis have been very helpful trying to get me going with AWESOME, I've just run out of luck, I guess. — steve

Ethan, The European press has been suggesting that a Spring 1991 release (over there) of the CDTV may well be within the realm of reality. According to one report, Commodore has been doing two interesting things. First, they've either already or are planning to ship a limited number of units to selected households, to see how people react to the thing and how they use it or what they think they might use it for. Secondly, they've supposedly arranged for the possibility of rental of CDTV units through some of the higher-quality electronics stores in the UK, so people can go through a "try-before-you-buy" experience. Both sound like good ideas if true, and should further clarify the possibilities for this thing. Sure hope it makes a _big_ splash!! — steve
