CDTV - Playing the Commodore CDTV : Part III

Putting the CDTV to the test was kinda a big let down. The unit
fires up and runs smoothly into the play mode and you are given
the various options what to do with the CD. Trouble is when you
are use to having a more useful, intuitive and customisable user
interface you feel like you are always playing what the provider
wants you to play with and not actually seriously doing anything
useful. I guess in the end I prefer my entertainment either on
a computer or via a brain dead TV that just acts as a mini theatre.

Suffice to say I got bored pretty quick. No easy way to use the
CDTV and none of the functionality of say a hard drive for saving
and using what you discover on the disks. The CD also uses valuable
memory making some aspects of the unit unplayable. Weird really.

That was that... Not an Amiga by the way, even though the external
floppy drive does have the words Amiga on it [ the only place ].


Includes track by David J. Pleasance

Closer inspection shows that the beige
label as shown on the box artwork has
been removed and stuck to the inside
of the drop down flap.

The label states ' BLACK '

Decided to use the unofficial external floppy drive

Sorry for the dusty keyboard but this
keyboard is in daily service on the A4000d

More like Hi-Fi, but I guess that was the plan.
