- There's a very good reason for this. CDROM sales on Amiga (even with
- CD32 included) are very poor - and have been for 6 months. With
- production costs it is not worth doing. And I speak with experience of
- Worms, where we did support the game with CD Audio AND animations like
- the PC version. At the moment it is proving very difficult to get CD32
- stock into retail due to few machines being sold and retailer
- confidence low.
