X68000 aparently had some games, which supported the CM-64 to its full capabilities. As you know, the CM-64 is a CM-32L and a CM-32P in a single unit. AFAIK no DOS games used the CM-32P part, but some X6800 games did.

Highscreen / Vobis were huge in Germany and Austria. They kinda made computers accessible to everyday people.
