Captain's Log / star date 2008.1210
Today a long awaited package of two (yes, two!) Commodore Amiga CD32 units arrived. I already have an unboxed NTSC unit in my collection and now I have added two boxed PAL units. The CD32 was Commodore's last computer before they went bankrupt and as such does have a special significance. I'm currently having way too much fun playing old Amiga games with my CDTV on my HDTV to have time for the CD32, but I'm definitely looking forward to hooking one of these units up. I never got around to buying a 220v-110v step down converter for my NTSC CD32 to try it out. The CD32, though short a life span, has a very decent library of titles released for it. Way better than what came out for the CDTV. One wonders what would've happened to Commodore had they survived just that little bit longer to be able to sell more of these CD32 machines, as they were very popular in Europe on release. Ah well, I got a stack of cover CD-ROMs of CD32 Gamer and CD32 Magazine to go along with the CD32 units as well as 3 games so no shortage of software to try out there!
Been a very busy week work wise and will be for the next 2 weeks as well (gotta earn money to support this irrational Commodore and Amiga buying habit ;-), but Christmas and New Year's is just around the corner, which means I'll have a week and a half off from work. In between the family obligations I'll finally get to spend some good quality time with my Amigas as well. Good times!
As you can see from the photos above, I also bought a stack of unopened, fresh CDTV caddy's. Caddy's easily break and it's nice to have a stack of spares! Have a good week!
