Geek With Social Skills | Commodore Amiga CDTV Hardware and Accessories Collection @geekwithsocialskills | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The Commodore Amiga CDTV, or Commodore Dynamic Total Vision as it was originally known is a bit of retro technology that I've been collecting for since March 2011.
In this video I showcase my Commodore CDTV collection which includes the official black keyboard, remote control, mouse, trackball controller, 64 KB memory card and so much more!
Why is Nolan Bushnell in my thumbnail you might be asking? In 1991 Commodore hired Bushnell as a spokesperson to endorse the Commodore CDTV multimedia system which was basically a Amiga 500 computer repackaged with some upgrades for the consumer electronics market.
