Someone must be bored!!
That someone is my 15 year old son who has gone up to the loft and found the old Amiga CD32 console.It was getting a bit iffy when I put it away so I'm surprised it works.However the game Liberation which I would be most interested in playing won't work but he's happy playing James Pond 3.
So now I have not only his XBox to fight about when wanting to watch TV. 
Anything not to revise for his exams next month.
Incog.

Re: Someone must be bored!!
The annoying thing was that he had b*lloxed the video channel so I couldn't watch the programme I had recorded. 
Oh well it's sorted now.
He's now trying to buy one on Ebay as about 2/3rds of the games won't work on ours.He's already been outbid and is fuming!!AS I said to him I'm not paying more than I originally paid for it,they are second hand after all.
So if anyone has a working Amiga CD32 for sale let me know.

Yeah, the CD32 never really took off, so didn't get anywhere near as many games as the normal Amigas did.
£64? Why not sell yours?

Re: Someone must be bored!!
Could always run an emulator on your PC and play the games on here. Then you wont have TV issues!!

Obtaining games for running on emulators can be illegal, e.g. downloading ROM images of SNES/MD/N64 games etc.
Emulators themselves...not illegal. Certainly not all of them, anyway.
As for the Amiga: There is a legal & officially licensed Amiga emulator pack available. It uses the free WinUAE emulator together with officially licensed Kickstart ROM images, & is available from www.amigaforever.com. Not sure about using one for CD32 games though.
