Couldn't believe the Hulk Hogan attachment. Hulk is looking at the system like is playing this thing going to get me laid? I wasn't aware of the movie. 
  What attachment?  I would love to see it.  Long time Hulkamaniac here.

I believe you can play burned games without modding, so you can try out the Zeldas and Hotel Mario. They're not good.

What about The Apprentice, or Mutant Rampage?
 

The Apprentice...  wasnt that the game with those naughty cheat codes?
 
Only cheat codes I could find were for level select, mini games, and alternate endings. It's a platformer that got decent reviews (for a cdi game), and maybe one of the best platformer on the system (just looking at reviews). 

  Ah ok well i looked it up. and yes it is the game with the "nudtality codes" from what i was able to find these codes were released by some one that worked on the game 20 years after its release.

That golf game the grumps played was pretty funny!
 



I agree, almost bought one after that and then I realized I'm getting the same experience just watching the video  That one was frustrating to watch, especially the castle hole.

No surprise the first thing people talk about w/ CDI is the Zelda games. There are quite a few awesome games on the system. I highly recommend Zenith, nothing quite like it other than maybe a Virtual Boy game. I also really enjoy Inca, which is an underrated game. I have around 40 titles and that's still what I immediately talk about when CD-i comes up (well, those and Tetris).

I recall seeing the system demonstrated in Macy's opposite the 3DO. Of course, the 3DO stole much of the thunder, but I still sat through, watched both demos loop, and listened to the sales pitches (each had someone paid to stand next to it and promote it). One sales person told me that CD-i was supposed to be the open-standard "VCR of CD videogames." Years later, I found out that the 3DO was pitched to investors the same way. I wasn't aware of the VHS/Beta format wars (thought all VCRs were VHS) but I knew that they were made by multiple manufacturers and all played the same movies, so the analogy worked.

Later I saw Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon in a then-current Babbages flyer and thought "What on Earth?! How did this happen?!" I wasn't subscribed to Nintendo Power yet so I didn't even know about the proposed SNES CD system.

I still wasn't interested in buying a CD-i. The demo made it clear to me that it was really more for encyclopedias and stuff and that 3DO was the system to have if you wanted games and didn't want to wait for Saturn/PlayStation.

I'd suggest some like Defender of the Crown except that it exists on other platforms and I have no reason to think that the CD-i version is particularly good in comparison (Tetris certainly isn't). ]]> Philips CDI http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=175185 2017-07-04T11:35:54 -05.00 740buckeyehunter 24 Philips CDI http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=175185 2017-07-04T11:30:49 -05.00 740buckeyehunter 24
It needs the extra Video card add on for the console though. ]]>
