It's a full A1200 in a nice, sega genesis-shaped box. Still neat to see a game console from 1992 getting a new add-on and a new game announced for said add-on 22 years later.Īs for picking up a CD32 in general, I think it's the coolest, single best Amiga one can get if expanded. Obviously, Amiga CD32 users with an SX-1 add-on and extra ram, or an SX-32 add-on can play this game as well without this new add-on. These CD32 conversions use WHDLoad32 and sport expanded CD32 controls plus extras like FMV clips on the disc. The first game announced for this new add-on? A port of Putty Squad being advertised as "coming soon." A whole line of "8 mb CD32" games are supposed to be coming from this group. That 8 mb extra ram will allow the CD32 to run a number of games that it normally cannot.Įssentially, this add-on will do what the hyper-expensive SX-32 add-on does, albeit mass produced and at an affordable price. In addition to adding in compact flash support and a real time clock, the CD32 add-on will also sport an accelerator chip (68030) and 8 mb additional ram. Well, some dudes on the English Amiga Board have begun taking pre-ordered for a CD32 add-on. Rather than each level being a different image loaded into ram when needed, a single image containing all backgrounds are loaded and blitted appropriately, which puts the game over the memory limit of a stock CD32. The problem with Super putty is that all the backgrounds in the game are static high-color images stored in one giant master image that is loaded into ram.

Unlike a standard Amiga 1200, which has 2 mb fastram, the CD32 has about 1.9 mb fastram after the CD-Rom Driver is loaded.

Because of the way the CD32 works, small things like the drivers for the CD-Rom drive wind up occupying just enough memory so that games like Putty Squad can't run. Unfortunately, it was discovered that it would be impossible for a stock CD32 to run the game. Immediately, a CD32 port of the game was started. System 3 released the adf for amiga owers to finally get to play the game, free of charge, and told the Amiga community to have at it.
But, while the SNES version ultimately shipped, the Amiga version was cancelled after completion.
Putty Squad is a platformer based off of the puzzle gameplay of the original Super Putty that was heavily advertised for the Amiga and SNES, and even reviewed. Last christmas, System 3 released an adf image of the unreleased Amiga 500 version of Putty Squad, the sequel to Super Putty on the Amiga and SNES.
