Some of our readers own Amigas with CD-ROM drives.  They may be
wondering what CD32 titles will work with their Amiga.  That's what this
column will help them find out.  We'll be testing titles every month
to see if they'll work on any or both of these set-ups:  An Amiga
4000/040 with a Texel DM-3028 and a CDTV (which is basically an Amiga
500 with a built in CD-ROM drive).

It's quite possible none of them will work with the latter system. 
It lacks the AGA chipset that the CD32 contains.  But, knowing that a
lot of people own the older Amigas, we didn't want to ignore them.

This month's games:  SUMMER OLYMPIX, CHAOS ENGINE and FRONTIER: ELITE II

SUMMER OLYMPIX
--------------
It bombs out on the CDTV.  It turns screen yellow on bootup and doesn't
recognize the disc.  When the CDTV is booted with a Workbench disk in
an external drive, the disc is recognized but it has no icons to start
the game.  I did not try to start it with the shell, as I have no
keyboard on my CDTV.

On the 4000/040, the disc showed no icons.  When using the SHOW ALL 
FILES option from the Workbench, icons appeared but none of them would
successfully run the game.

CHAOS ENGINE
------------
Forget the CDTV.  The game uses the AGA chipset and will not work.

And, apparently, forget the A4000/040 too.  It doesn't have any icons
and selecting the SHOW ALL FILES option from the Amiga's Workbench
doesn't produce an icon capable of running the game.

FRONTIER: ELITE II
------------------
When used with the CDTV, the disc does not boot the machine.  It produces
the yellow screen and then stops.  The disc is recognized when the
machine is booted with a Workbench disk, but clicking the icon does not
run the program.  You'll get an error message and that as far as it goes.

On the 4000/040, the icon appears but doesn't appear to do anything when
clicked.  No error or any other message appears.
