Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Amiga CD32 was a home video game console developed by Commodore, released in September 1993 in Europe, Australia, Canada, and Brazil. It was marketed as the world's first 32-bit CD games console and was essentially an Amiga 1200 personal computer without a keyboard or I/O ports, fitted with a CD-ROM drive.
Commodore owed 10 million US dollars in patent royalties to a company called Cad Track for use of its XOR patent. A federal judge issued an injunction blocking Commodore from importing goods into the United States. Inventory built up at Commodore's Philippine manufacturing facility could not be shipped, and Commodore declared bankruptcy shortly after, ending any chance of an official US release.
Approximately 100,000 Amiga CD32 units were sold across Europe during its brief time on the market, with around 25,000 of those sold in Germany alone. At Christmas 1993, the CD32 accounted for 38 percent of all CD-ROM drive sales in Britain.
The CD32 was discontinued eight months after its debut in September 1993 when Commodore International filed for bankruptcy in April 1994. Component supply problems had also prevented Commodore from meeting demand for new units in the period before the bankruptcy.
The CD32 was the first 32-bit CD games console released in Europe and North America, but it was beaten to market globally by seven months by the FM Towns Marty, a console sold exclusively in Japan. Commodore argued the CD32 had a fully 32-bit external data bus, while the FM Towns Marty's 386SX processor had only a 16-bit external data bus.
The Amiga CD32 was used in a wide range of commercial settings beyond gaming. In 1993, 109 units were installed at the London Transport Museum to run interactive exhibits. From 1994 to 1997, Wall Street Institute used CD32 systems at language-learning centers. An Italian company called CD Express used the hardware as the basis for arcade cabinets from 1995, and slot machine manufacturer StarGames embedded CD32 motherboards in machines including Hawaiian Delight and Leprechaun Luck.
