a gaming console that should never have been invented!

the kids next door crying and bats are flying out of h-ll…
whos playing cd-i?
an ill-fated multimedia console from the early 90’s, developed by philips. known best for harboring some of the worst games ever made, many of which are so bad that they’re actually fantastic. “zelda: wand of gamelon” and “link: faces of evil” are the games most people -ssociate with the device.

the playstation 3 is the cd-i of our time.
widely considered one of (if not the) worst console(s) of all time, even surp-ssing systems like the sega cd, 32x and 3do, which each had at least 1 decent game each.

its most (in)famous games included the nintendo-licensed zelda games faces of evil/wand of gamelon/zelda’s adventure, along with hotel mario.

interestingly, the cd-i would live on to finally entertain people (in a way) about a decade and a half after its release, when the youtube p–p fad (which is heavily rooted in the horrendously bad, yet hilarious, nintendo fmvs).
notable cd-i game quotes:

“enough! my ship sails in the morning. i wonder what’s for dinner?”

“there is no time, your sword is enough!”

“you dare bring light into my lair? you must die?!!!”
n. entertainment console by philips. pretty much the foundation for those new-fangled multimedia pc thingies that work as a pc, tv, dvd player, cd player, etc. launched in 1992, it never really took off. this was mainly due to the fact that it was so rediculously overpriced. even now, there’s some guy trying to flog them off for £60. also, there really was no need for something as advanced at the time. it played vcds (they never took off because there was little advantage over vhs), audio cds (a very expensive way of doing that) photo cds and, of course, cd-is.

the cd-i is mostly known as a games console, to which it did resort to becoming later on. in comparison with other games consoles of the time, it was far more powerful than the snes or the sega megadrive. the games that were exclusive to the cd-i, however, were lame. for instance, the awful hotel mario (nintendo lent philips the license).

in my opinion, the philips cd-i was best for it’s version of lemmings (second only to the commodore amiga’s) and the heavy, well built mouse.
dude, i found a philips cd-i on ebay.
