These games look awesome! I have never actually seen an Amiga (of any type) before in person. I just looked up the game list on the Amiga 500 mini, the game lists are completely different but these look much more fun (I did seen a quick review of the games on that system for another video). Thank you so much for making the video.
All of the early cd based consoles were disappointing, Sega CD, Atari Jaguar, Philips CD-i and the 3DO were equally bad albeit some had some better games. Only when they released the Saturn and the PlayStation things changed.
Amiga CD32 wasn't a horrible machine, it was just A1200 with CD-ROM. The game library was disappointing. Most of the games released for CD32 didn't use it's capabilities. CD Audio soundtracks and FMV were cool addition, but it was not enough. The only thing that made CD32 really nice console years later were those fanmade massive CD compillations that had dozens of greatest Amiga games on one disc. Also CD32 should have an enhanced graphics chipset that could make it somehow 3D capable. Just like SNES had it's graphics accelerator chips inside some of the cardtridges. Another thing is that selling one game that took like 2 or 3 floppies on a CD-ROM was wasteful. For example Team 17 should have released Alien Breed collection (5 games) on one CD. Other studios could do the same. For example all Lemmings games on a CD, Ishar Trilogy, Pinball collection including Slamtilt, Monkey Island games with speech, Arcade Collection with the best Amiga arcade ports. So many ideas to make CD32 a really good console, but Commodore board were dumb assholes and didn't know what they were doing.
A charge you could equally levy at the main Amiga line too, given over 90% of its 3000+ games were utter cack! But just shovelling a bunch of ports onto the CD32 wasn't an issue if you didn't own an Amiga beforehand. That was going to be the CD32's raison d'être - to use the Amiga back catalogue to storm the console market in regions (like North America) where Amiga had little previous penetration. Not a bad plan, but of course Commodore had been run by a bunch of braying donkeys in suits for too long by then for there to be a chance for that to happen. In Europe they knew folks would buy it on brand strength alone, and they were not wrong - its sales were impressive for the few months it was in stock. But courtroom drama on the other side of the Atlantic meant none of that mattered. The CD32 never got a proper shake not because it was a bad system or it had bad content, but because it had incompetent owners. Obviously, with developers knowing Commodore are going down in flames, the only games they would chance on the system would be cheap ports for a dwindling number of legacy owners.
Biggest wasted opportunity ever! They spent a fortune on a new console and then made 1 game for it. Everything else was simply ported over and given a longer intro sequence
Not really 32 bit games compared to 3DO, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation and even the Atari Jaguar. Some would even argue that rare ware games on the super Nintendo are way more advanced.
It looks bad when did this got out did compete vs PlayStation and n64 even the amiga cpu version looks better like lotus looks better on the computer and that’s 87-88
The CD32 is really just an Amiga 1200 with a cd drive in a box. The 1200 came out in 1992. The CD32 came out in 1993 but legal problems and crappy launch games basically killed the system. So yeah it doesn't compare to well to the PS1 from 2 years later. The N64 came out in 1996 so not really a fair comparison.
@@darkjapan I didn’t think it was out this early I thought it was after ps1 because I seen a review on tv while ps1 was out maybe it’s me but the computer version seem to look better
Wow, where are Pinball Fantasies, Pinball Illusions, Pirates Gold, Flink, UFO Enemy Unknown, Brian The Lion, any of the Alien Breed games, Beneath a Steel Sky, Simon the Sorcerer, Canon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Liberation, Soccer Kid, Subwar 2050, Gunship 2000… this is by far the worst video on UA-cam!
These games look awesome!

Excellent video, cool that you played them all.
Microcosm. You chose that over pirates gold, the lost Vikings, cannon fodder, sensible soccer or pinball dreams? Madness
@Hassan Ruben definitely, have been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
For a 32 bit machine, this thing was very disappointing.

32 bit... yet most of these games could easily run on a Sega Genesis, albeit with worse audio unless it uses the Sega CD.
Strange list... Dennis??? Serious???? No Dispisable Heroes?
Lots of rose colored glasses here. How much of amiga cd32 game library would be considered shovelware.

Where Pirates! Gold and Defender of The Crown 2? Those were, and still are, two of my favorite games of all time!
My top 30 CD32 games looks completely different, only about 5 of these are in my top 30
Amazing intro!
No frontier elite 2?
No Simon the sorcerer, arcade pool, pinball dreams, body blows, gloom?

what game was that lol
@@steviegbcool there wasn't just one, there were actually 15-20 new titles developed for the platform
@@GreenTeaViewer which ones?

I want to play some Amiga CD 32 games
A Savant fan ay? Btw nice list
I can't believe that Microcosm is number one. Out of 175 games it shouldn't be top 10 even.
its far more fun to play than you would first imagine
@@Llcooljdj I didn't say it wasn't fun.
Where is it number one? Not here...
No beatemups? No fighters?
Not really 32 bit games compared to 3DO, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation and even the Atari Jaguar. Some would even argue that rare ware games on the super Nintendo are way more advanced.
A console with copy protection on some games? What a pain. Pirates win again.
I'm sorry, but these games (minus the kart racer) looks uninspiring heck even the jaguar and 3do have a better library
no street fighter 2
?
I'm guessing Kang-Fu ranked so low it's not on the list
If it was in anyone's Top 30 they should get off the drugs
Diggers, super stardust, alien breed, litil divil, brutal sports Football, banshee, atr, arcade pool,
Sleepwalker??
We're do you sauce the roms
with ketchup
@@robertwilson3866 nah, brown sauce
Speris Legacy é aquele clone sem medo Zelda de SNES KKKKKKKKKKKKKK

16 bits

What a joke... No Turrican or Turrican II and no Speed Ball 2 Brutal Deluxe ! 😅👎
this is not 32 bit not even 16
The Amiga CD32 is a 32-bit home video game console developed by Commodore and released in Europe, Australia, Canada and Brazil.
@@Llcooljdj agree but the games are not
Big waste of time no info about core or something useful
Noob list , not even defender of the crown 2
Amiga cd 32=amiga 1200
