761.1CD Games Are About.UBOHUB::SHELDON_RSticky The Stick InsectMon Feb 05 1990 09:035
    
    I saw some CD games in town today but didn't see which computer
    they were for. I think they were published by Codemasters. I've
    heard that this particular publication can use an ordinary HI-FI
    CD player to run the games but don't quote me on that.
761.2Expensive tape!UKCSSE::KEANETue Feb 06 1990 06:4012
    
    Hi,
    
    I saw an article on these. The CD is for Commodore 64 machines. In the
    box with the CD is a little box what plugs into the audio out of an
    ordinary HIFI player. the other end of the box plugs into the
    cassette port of a C64. What they are selling is a very expensive way
    of loading tape cassettes !! What you get as an extra is some sound
    tracks of the music on the games.

761.3No Codemaster CD for the ST (?) STRIKR::RAYERTue Feb 06 1990 08:405
    And I understand that Codemasters probably won't be making the CD
    available for the ST.
