remember sitting at home as a kid back in the early/mid 90's watching the CD-i infommercials during the weekends....that zelda game looked so hot.
Fun topic for a video although it would be nice if he researched the developer of Wacky Worlds instead of calling it "some random European developer" (it was being made in the US by NovaLogic and one of the guys working on it was Silas Warner, the creator of Castle Wolfenstein).
They clearly didn't do a lot of research. Though they hastily corrected themselves on the video, they did refer to Philips as an American company.Quote:

The Link videos (made by a Russian animation company) were simply wretched.
So often I'd read game magazines that would say that CD-I was the greatest thing ever, and when it arrived games would have high resolution digitized sprites and FMV. Instead we got... CD-I.
The CD-i was THE game console for your hyper-Christian cousins who were not allowed to have a Genesis or Super Nintendo!
The most Quaker-riffic of all game consoles. Apparently, shitty Zelda and shitty Mario Bros are more morally sound, not taking attention from the Lord with all that "fun" business. Oh, and there was some Bible software.
This damn thing made Thanksgiving with the extended family especially terrible.
Rot in hell, Phillips CD-i.
I played the shit out of Road Rash and Golf on this in my youth. Stop hating, jerkoffs.
You sure that wasn't a "3DO"?
Oh yeah, move along.
IM AWSEOME
CD-i, the other 3DO.Quote:
