The Amiga CD32 was going to dominate the industry but had an IP suit against it.
When the Amiga 500 dropped below $300 in the USA it entered video console territory.
- jacobush 8y agoCD32 was launched a bit late, but also marketed too little. Commodore was dying by then, too many business jets, too few financially sound decisions.
- detritus 8y agoThat's not at all how I remember it - the CD32 was a last ditch effort, and one which whilst trying to maintain some sense of heritage (mainly in the awful styling - even at the time I wondered what they were doing) entirely misplaced the value of the Amiga in teenagers minds: creativity and piracy, neither of which were to be found. For me the CD32 was a final confirmation that the haydays of my beloved Amiga were past. At that point, I'd already seen Comanche running on a lowly office PC and knew that things were fast changing.
