CD32 - Getting a rise out of the CD32

Probably my second least loved Amiga but hey, worth a mention.
Just wanted to check a couple of games in truth so here is my
feature on the CD32.


A blue and a red box for the CD32.

Just the usual contents

And here is the game I wanted to check.

Couldn't resist.

And why not ?

A word of caution about the CD32
I discovered a weakness on one of
my CD32s which eventually finished
up with the door hinge breaking.

So if you are thinking about shelling
out a whole heap of cash for one of
these, it's probably worth checking
the hinge door bracket.

It is possible to run the unit with
it broken. You just need to put
something suitably heavy on the
door to keep it shut.

I do have the broken off bit
which I may be able to glue back
into position at some time.

Anyway back to this CD32.

Another problem with the CD32 is
the fact it does not use a standard
Amiga power supply. It uses a round
connector as opposed to the square.

This unit has no broken hing support.

That circular power connector.

Also lacks the standard Amiga monitor connector.

The ports are also an odd way round
with Number 1 furthest away.

Useful AUX though for a keyboard.

No broken hinge on this unit.

She is working just fine.

Just fine

So to a bit of Marvin.

Great game this and one that is
with your usual running, jumping
and kicking to solve puzzles and
gather everything you interact with.
You enter and leave through doors
as they appear... and just level up.

As ever with action in games I really
cannot capture the images with a slow
shutter speed. Just not possible for me

Useful guide notes when you trip
upon things for the first time.

Level completed and the thumbs up.

Man did I struggle here.

Rise of the Robots.

Whilst it is great fun playing Cannon Fodder
this is not why I picked up this box.

Cus inside the box is the very splendid Guardian.

Again, sorry, I just can't capture the
stuff that is moving so just trust me
that it is there... Never mind.

Anyway I'm off to play now. Bye !!!
