- Why not put some CD32's in the Escom Shops with a big display, and
- showing some games. It has got a good price and the games are cheaper
- than the other consoles. The CD32 cannot be compared with a PC: playing
- games with the CD32 on the TV in the living room is much more cosier than
- playing on a "cold" computermonitor.
