Just heard over on the other network that Electronics Botique will be selling the CD32. Is this truth or rumor. Wow! if it's true then mabe we will see a resurgence of Amiga Gaming. On the other hand, if it's true does that mean that Commodore is abandoning their much needed dealer base. Peter M. D'Angelo

Interesting rumor. I believe Commodore was trying to strike a deal with some of the smaller chains like Electronics Boutique to carry CD32. I believe EB will pick-up if CBM can delivery on more titles. BTW, we just received a CD32 with MPEG module. Video quality is very, very good! The 2nd Edition of the CD32 Demo Disk also had a very impressive playable demo of "Microcosm" a new CD32 game from Psygnosis. Extremely HOT! The intro is based on CDXL and the animations, many rotoscoped, are very impressive. Sincerely, John Chang Technical/Sales Support Manager Scala, Inc.

C= needs a dealer base to sell the A4000 and above. They should be pumping CD32 out the door at as many consumer venues as they can. Besides. As far as my experience goes, C= storefront dealers uniformly bite. Commodore might do well to go the same way as the PC manufacturers and sell direct. Charlie

Charlie, Obvisouly you haven't met me. I don't uniformally bite nor byte for that matter. 🙂 Signed an Amiga Dealer.. -mark= Otto Pilot Engaged..
