Another brave, if ill-advised step by Commodore to revolutionise the entertainment market. They decided to package an Amiga 500+ and a single-speed CD-ROM into a sleek entertainment console that looks the business even today. Without the keyboard/mouse/floppy you were restricted to the types of games you could play, but the console also plays audio CDs as well as CD+G discs, ie music CDs with added graphics. The expansion port on the back was for an MPEG module I think, allowing you to play CDi movies.

Of course, add on the rodent, floppy and keyboard and you were back to an Amiga 500+. They were too expensive, unfortunately, and therefore didn't sell too well.....pity, 'cos when this one's sitting on my hi-fi stack it really looks the job!

Oh, if you had an Amiga 500 and you wanted to turn it into a CDTV you just had to add the A570 CD-ROM drive!
