- It definitely is true. I'm in Canada, but I'm sure we have all the same
- CD+G discs available for the most part. There's a good Hendrix CD+G
- available, but the best is probably "Remember the Mamba" from some band I
- can't recall the name of.

- I certainly hope you can get a sleek black keyboard for the CDTV from
- Commodore, and use it like an Amiga, because if not I'd better look into
- just what this thing is that I hooked up to my CDTV that I'm typing on
- right now!!! :) Any Commodore dealer should have no trouble getting in
- the official Commodore CDTV keyboard. Don't bother with an adapter to hook
- up an Amiga 2000/3000 keyboard, as the CDTV keyboard is generally priced
- quite reasonably. It's just a black A3000 keyboard anyway, so the quality
- of the design and the tactile feel are both exceptional! You'll also need
- a disk drive and a mouse to run Amiga stuff, though (that is, unless you
- want to use the controller emulating a mouse which is NOT ideal! :).
-
- The only disc I've bought for my machine to supplement those that came with
- it is "The Heroic Age of Space Flight - Nasa... The 25th Year". I really
- like it. What have you picked up so far? Labyrinth is DEFINITELY on my
- list of things to get once it's available!!! It's reportedly a
- tremendously huge RPG.
-
- BTW, to the person who asked what Epic was. Epic is a space
- combat/flight-sim with more than a nod in the direction of Wing Commander
- (which is supposedly also due for an eventual CDTV/Amiga-CD release).
