I never knew this but there was a arcade machine based on the CD32 called the Cubo. Information about it is very scant but try these pages for more info :-

Yeah, I knew of its existence but not much else, other than the info on the two main Amiga hardware sites.

That final link you gave is the first time I've seen any actual Cubo CDs.

I wonder if we could locate anyone who owned one of these? Possibly the contributors of the images on the Amiga Hardware site.

I've found a list of Cubo Games here. (http://www.toseciso.org/list.php?sys=9)

Nice one. That TOSEC list is enough info to at least get the game entries onto the site. I will do that later. There are also some discscans on there too.

I will also have a hunt through my TOSEC collections as this might mean I already have the ISO images. I wonder if they would work on a standard CD32?

I would've thought so as the only difference between a Cubo and a CD32 is that you have to pay for a go on a Cubo. You can get Cubo for MAME.

I will have a look at emulating the games later and see what I can find.

I've now added the 9 games listed in the TOSEC set, and adding a note that a card game called High Five is included as a hidden mini-game on the Candy Puzzle game.

I will hunt for more information later.
