  • Amiga CD32 Gamer (January 1995)

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    The Amiga CD32 was basically Commodore’s attempt at turning the Amiga 1200 into a gaming machine with a CD-ROM drive. The hardware was fine but from Commodore it was too little too late. In fact, when this issue of Amiga CD32 Gamer was published, Commodore was already out of business. The January 1995 issue includes:

    • News – Retailers still supporting Commodore and the Amiga; Sensible World of Soccer out for the Amiga but may not be released for the CD32; Gremlin released Amiga CD32 version of Shadow Fighter; and more.
    • Previews – A look at upcoming games including Base Jumpers, Nick Faldo Golf, Pussies Galore (it’s probably not what you’re thinking), and Worms.

    • Frontier II – An in-depth preview of this sequel to Frontier: Elite II which was itself a sequel to Elite.
    • Reviews – Reviews of Pinball Illusions (a pinball simulation), PGA European Tour (golf game), SubWar 2050 (a futuristic submarine warfare game), Theme Park (like Sim City only a theme park), and more.
    • Playing Tips – Tips, tricks, strategies, and solutions for Beneath a Steel Sky, Tower Assault, and Jungle Strike.
    • Correspondence – Letters from readers about buying CD32 games, speakers, the magazine’s cover CD, and more.
    • A-Z – A guide to all of the CD32 software available.

    …and more!

    Source: Amiga CD32 – Issue Number 2 – January 1994



    The CD32 could have been a great console but it didn’t live long enough for us to find out. Based on the Amiga 1200, this was Commodore’s last attempt at a game console before going bankrupt. That happened shortly after the CD32 was released in the U.K. and just before there would have been an official U.S. release. Still, even it managed a dedicated magazine or two in the U.K. The January 1994 issue of Amiga CD32 (of which there were only two issues) includes:

    • Editorial
    • What’s On The Coverdisc? – Arcade Pool, Superfrog, Marvin’s Marvellous Adventure, Wembley International Soccer, Cannon Fodder, Top Gear 2, Kid Chaos, Bubble & Squeak and Banshee.
    • News – All the latest news on Commodore, plus a rundown of developments throughout the year.
    • FMV Feature
    • Joypad Offer
    • Competition – You could be in with a chance of winning one of 10 Marvin’s Marvellous Adventure T-shirts.
    • Paravision SX-1
    • Previews – Alien Breed 2, Tower Assault, The Lost Eden, Mega Race, Marvin’s Marvellous Adventure, Baldy, Space Academy, Evasive Action, Super Stardust and Manchester United Premier League Champions.
