 >Mmmm, not sure. I know that the CD32 plays CD+G disks now.

Yes, but doesn't everything with a CD unit these days?  (ie, CDTV, Sega CD,
TurboGrafx CD, 3DO, CD-i, ...)

Not true, actually.  Laserdisc as a far greater resolution.  It may be
"better" in the sense that you can fit more video on a disc than you can on
a laserdisc, perhaps.  (That is the only thing that made VHS better than
Beta).

 >So you guys still haven't seen it?

It does not exist in the US.  I have an Amiga developer friend who has seen
it, and likes it.  BUT, without mass availability it won't make it.  (Just
think - if the MM/1 where in every computer store years ago, it probably
wouldn't have beat out MS-DOS machines but it would have grabbed an
interesting market...)
