COMMODORE

AMIGA CD32

The first 32-bit console on the market, and the last Commodore effort before they went bankrupt. A good system with a lot of games made for it, but only a few of them used all the possibilities the system allowed. The NTSC version, marketed for (only) a few months, is pretty rare.
The Commodore Amiga CD32 was also the first videogame system with a built-in 2X CD-Rom player and was easily expandable to a full working Amiga computer thanks to a third party add-on called SX-1.

The system and its joypad (one of the worst ever made!).

All the above specifications were taken from the Amiga CD32 FAQ.

Some years ago there were many rumors about a new version of the system. Called by some journalists "Amiga CD64", was probably just vaporware. If there was another console on Commodore or Amiga projects, it was soon canned after Amiga went bankrupt. Recent rumors speculate that the next Amiga incarnation, based on the ELATE Kerner, could also be used on videogame systems. I'm curious...
