Phillips CD-i

[Izret101]

Does anyone know alot about this or could someone point me in the right direction for information about this system. The store I go to has a ton of stuff for it but i dont know the prices yet on it yet. But i figure they're not asking to much for anything because they are pushed back on the bottom shelves collecting dust with a bunch of other older stuff.

unless you can get it absolutely dirt cheap don't bother. it's not much to speak of in terms of game play. a vast majority of the CD-i titles are edutainment.

I have one because my affliction is such that I have to have everything but if it's solid gameplay you're after you'd be sorely dissapointed.

I am going more for an obscure collectors of value than gameplay.
I know almost everything on it is eduatainment or not game related I am almost positive on was the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Thanks for the input guys. I think i will hold off on that for now, unless i can get them dirt cheap like you say.
Anyone have a different point of view?

there are the three "Zelda" games and Hotel Mario on that system.  now i have never played on one before but i hear that Hotel Mario is very addictive and is a good game.
out of the three zelda games only one is worth playing or even close to Nintendo's standards for zelda games.  (i have only heard these things cause i havent ever played one.)  also plan to put down some scratch for that zelda game.  its not cheap.

now if you do some searching on this topic you will find that a second Mario game was planned but never finished or released.  the screen shots are impressive and i feel it is a shame that this game never came out.

i do feel that the system is a good part of VG history if nothing else for the affiliation with nintendo and the history behind the system itself.

I am pretty sure the rare Zelda game was wand of gannon or wand of something i dont remember.
I have this posted on digitpress also and i am getting no responses. Just under 4500 members and no responses thanks you guys for your help.

Hotel Mario is a very good game.

I got the zelda games just because I must own every
zelda game

There are other games worth getting like....

1 7th quest
2 Burn: cycle
3 voyeur

thunder in paradise is worth some laughs

Good luck

I went to Ebay to see what the average price for a CD-i game would be (what cant ebay do?) and i found an... interesting title http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eB...;item=8116195129&rd=1

that zelda game is called Wand of Gamelon

[shadytool]

ok, you two goofballs arent listening.  there are 3 zelda games.

Zelda games:
Link:  Faces of Evil
Zelda's Adventure
Zelda:  The Wand of Gamelon

in Zleda's Adventure you actually play as Princess Zelda.

Anyone remember the imfomercials for the CD-i near the end of its life span? I saw those on cable a few times real late at night. I dont remember who the host was, just that it was really pathetic to see.
