CD-I

[CharlieAlbert]

I was in born in 1990 and i'm a girl. The main console i played growing up was my CD-I, Does anyone else remember these? They were probably one of the the worst advertised consoles ever and was obliterated by playstation etc in the early nineties.
I constantly quote the games but no one ever knows what i'm talking about

Any memories of this antiquity console??

I had one - although only because there were large discount vouchers floating about not long after launch.

It was only ever really worth getting to play Video CD's as all the games were pretty much crap.

Dont even know what happened to mine.

I still have top gun video cd for mine

It was awful that's why it was obliterated.

3DO on the other hand was more interesting.

My friend was going to buy one, but got a Commodore CDTV instead.
It was like deciding to buy a bucket of poo instead of a sack of poo.

My dad had one of these and i got a few games for it. Nothing amazing though. Titles that stand out in my head are Burn Cycle, Chaos Control, Dragons Lair, Lost Eden and Space Ace. Most of the games were terrible but i remember having a lot of fun with Lost Eden. That was pretty good.

Did anyone play the zelda games on cd-I? I've always been curious about those.

 

[malachi]

Wasn't Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo first released playable on a home console on the CD-I?

Apparently the majority of the games that featured Nintendo characters were regarded as very much weak links in their respective series'.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

It was no 3DO

And nintendo doing a deal with philips (and ditching their SNES CD addon deal with sony) was the reason the playstation came into being.
