Cd-i Games

[POLO9999]

Soo i think here everybody know the CD-I... The philips video game console.

There were not a lot very good games but there are somes very awful games and some weirdness.... like

LINK : The faces of evil or Zelda : Wands of Gamelon and Hotel Mario... yes... Nintendo were on dr*gs in this time .

I think some reviews from AVGN and GLRC can be best than words :

I love the CD-i I don't care what anyone says!!!!!

Hey and if there are any CD-i users out there that don't have an official controller. I like me I had one of these damn things

Which makes it really hard to play most of the games but is good for waching movies because it's got a crazy long cord.

Anyway... if you need a controller and you don't want to pay the crazy prices that they are going for I suggest you get on here right away and get one of these there are only a couple left. I have bought one already and they are great.

I have the 450 system with the DV-Cartridge but I want to get a few more of the other systems as well.

Ah? Is the CD-I Play movies ? VCD? SVCD?

[Thor]

Yup the CD-i played VCDs. I don't know if you ever messed with a VCD but when you compile a VCD it will create a folder called CDi. So I think Philips was the one who developed that technology. And the pirates took it an ran with it. It's funny that you can actually still find people bootlegging moves on VCD. But for the most part I think it's been switched to DVD.

They were trying to get it to be the new standard along with the game system as the new entertaiment component like the VCR only better.

Obviously didn't work. Though I do remember the CD-i being used in our schools for teaching.

Well, Ralph Baer created the technology that was later used by the CD-i in the late 70's (Philips licensed it and used it, though they don't technically own I believe).
