7 messages in this thread
Here,s my question?
Why dosen't CBM have a commercial like this- Angry mother enters
house drops groceries, marches upstairs yelling "Kenny, how many
times have I told you stop playing video games, and to do your school
work(Arcade Game heard from upstairs room). CloseUp Shot..father and
son looking at each other with CD32 controlpads in there hands. Kenny
pushes button on controlpad, bedroom door swings open with angry
mother in the doorway. Father turns to her with a smile, "Honey, this
is the AMIGA CD32 we're studying history now… (Snapshots of all
the educational software history,math,science etc… while father
becomes salesman for CD32 to his wife). Mother leaves room heading
downstairs, praising the AMIGA CD32 along the way. CloseUp
Shot..Kenny pushes button on controlpad. Father and son continue
playing a football game on the CD32.(The GRAPHICS must be
excellent… for this is the hook of the commercial…everyone
seeing it must say I- want that game…) END of commercial-
….CD32….FROM THE MIND OF THE AMIGA…
That's one long question, Huh???
Charles..
Neat advertisement? However, you know the answer to the question already
don't you? 🙂
When playing 20 questions with Commodore you don't want to create
questions that can have answers like this:
"We like the concept and may consider that one for the future".
🙂
I added it to the list though. :=)
How about: What could Commodore have done differently with Marketing
AND Engineering of the Amiga (from the Amiga 1000 days to the
present) so that they wouldn't be in the mess they are in now? (it
would be interesting to find out how they believe they screwed up!)
You are assuming that they think that they screwed up… I wonder.
Also, I doubt very much that they are too concerned with 'what could
have been'… what's important to the people running C= is what
_will_ be. <g>
Of course, I'd love to know just what the original marketing plans
were and get some of the inside scoop on what happened… but I have
a feeling we'll have to wait for someone who used to be on the inside
at a high level to write a book or something.
Unless they acknowledge some errors of the past then they won't ever
learn from the past and will continue to make blunders in the future!
If "what will be" becomes history repeating itself then we are on a
fast sinking ship! later!
"Plan? Plan? There ain't no *plan*!" <G>

From our narrow perspective of the company (Amiga user's) it sure does
seem that way most of the time.
