This is a CDTV running the game Xenon II: Megablast on a 68000 CPU and a 68010 CPU to show the large performance difference a 68010 can make to Bitmap Brothers games.

The 68010 is literally a drop-in replacement that runs at the same clock speed as the 68000, it has a couple of extra features, the main one being a "Loop mode" which is an optimisation of tight loops. It is said this only provides an up to 10% performance improvement, but in some situations, it is a lot more.

Note that I'm not a gamer, I'm not brilliant at this game and I was playing through the recording monitor with probably 1/4 second lag :)
