It was really another time.

Remember all that, plus they raped Mario and Zelda too.

Like a few other game systems over the years, especially the more unsuccessful ones it was bundled with a number of games as in its lifetime. The one I most vividly remember it bundled with was it's best game, Burn Cycle.Katzkatz wrote:Was it bundled with a Chess game and Tetris? I only remember seeing Voyeur and 7th Guest on it. As well as Myst (I think?).

I also remember another game, which you had to play with a gun... also very much like a western movie.
I'd love to get this system...

Mario Hotel is a good game, by CD-i standards.pocketmego wrote:Remember all that, plus they raped Mario and Zelda too.
But, that is what really bothers me MOST about the CDi. It was a neat system. It was (at the time) a very original kind of gaming and entertainment system. But, it just failed to live up to any possible potential the system might have had, by having lazy programmers making lazy games in and including Hotel Mario.cdoty wrote:Mario Hotel is a good game, by CD-i standards.pocketmego wrote:Remember all that, plus they raped Mario and Zelda too.
Programming Frog Feast for the CD-I, I got a chance to truely understand the power and limitations of the CD-I. Part of the problem is that the lowly 68000 has to handle all screen redraws, without any hardware support. On top of that, the screen is normally 8 bit. Another problem is that the library delivered by Philips (Balboa) was horrible for game development.pocketmego wrote:But, that is what really bothers me MOST about the CDi. It was a neat system.
