hey.... Yeah, there I am. This was my first part-time job (not simply a summer job.) It was so horrible, but the CD-i training disc was the most memorable part.
Here's a wild one: I bought a "portable CD-i" unit back in the early 00's, it was early days of Ebay. No pics, I bought blind. It came brand new, in a plainish cardboard box with CD-i markings, and... wait for it... Wendy's markings on it. Dude sent some software also, but upon questioning he told me these were bought by Wendy's corporate for training purposes. Before anybody asks, I sold it in 2008 to a collector. There was no specific training software included, but it may indicate similar software for Wendy's.
That's what I was thinking when this was discovered. There's NO WAY this was going to be a wacky, fun actual game. The CD-I was made more to be a PC substitute that just happened to have those infamous Nintendo licensed games than a true console gaming system. I'll assume that they had some closeout deals for industrial use, too, making them more cost effective than actual computers. So yeah. A lame, not fun, chore of a trainee program was not a surprise at all.
Yeah, I seriously think almost nobody excluding hardcore video game and tech historians would even remember it now if it didn't have those Nintendo games.
@@mattwolf7698 It could have been a slightly cheaper alternative to a home computer at the time, but other than that it was unremarkable. My thin recollection of the machine was that they were pushing the educational/informational aspect and saying "oh, there's like some games too, I think." The in-store displays didn't even feature games, like the actual in store console set ups. Even with the Nintendo games, the only reason anyone even knew about them was due to sharing the FMV's, as no one actually bought them.
I love how this opens with an incredulous laugh. It really is so ridiculous - a training application for one of the worst video game systems ever. Which isn't fair, since it wasn't SUPPOSED to be a game system.
@@gracekim1998 " Sneak King " " Big Bumpin' " and " PocketBike Racer " were three video games for the XBox and XBox 360. They were sold at Burger King for $3.99 when you bought a Value Meal in the mid 2000s. I think they were some of the last physical media 'advergames'. After that companies went more into browser games for computers and digital games for consoles especially 360 which had a few Doritos games including the very fun Doritos Crash Course and its sequel Crash Course 2 as well as a Honda game called 'Yaris' which got very bad reviews.
I worked for McDonald's for a brief time in the early 90s and was shown this amazing what to do in a robbery VHS. I hope one day it surfaces cuz it was hilarious!
I love that these companies picked the CDI of all systems for this. I know why they chose it but its just hilarious that the CDI now has even more reasons to go down in infamy. first those awful Nintendo games and now these lost and frankly hilarious sounding training softwares
It almost seems like a VHS would have made more sense to release this on, I guess they needed the interactivity though. This makes you think though, there's probably thousands of lost training VHS's out there, granted most would be boring.
I worked at an Orlando, FL Burger King in 1998 when I was 16. I actually had to "play" this when I was hired. I had heard of the CD-i in magazines, but this was the only time I ever saw one in person. It had the awkward vertical controller and everything.
Back in 1996 I worked for the Burger King on 5th ave in Huntington WV and they used this. From what I remember it basically played a generic video and then asked you some pretty simple questions. Would think there would be somebody somewhere that would have a copy of this still.
I'm glad another person from my era remembers using this back then. It's the sort of thing that would easily get overlooked at the time and then forgotten... unless you're obsessed with weird old video game systems.
The McDonald's DS game wasn't the first one of its kind uncovered either -- there was also a training program for a hotel chain released on PSP, which RUclipsr Rerez covered some time ago. So yeah, not nearly as novel as all that! Still cool to see more of these found, though.
Okay, I call bullshit. WHO WOULD HIRE A BEAR?! Let alone a MOTHER bear! I mean, hibernation's it's OWN problem, but a MOTHER?! Are you TRYING to get your customers mauled?! All bears are the same. Yeah, I said it!
When I was a kid our local fire station had an open day and they had an cdi with some kinda interactive fire safety quizzes... found it boring but always remembered it cos I thought the remote was cool with the joystick.
The idea of a Burger King training game on the CD-I sounds absurd. Just as absurd as the lost McDonalds DS game from Japan. Oh and for found lost media part 2, you should mention Illumination Laser on the Sharp X68000 and Alltynex on the FM Towns.
That console sold so bad that most people that knows about more obscure game trivia don't know about the C64GS existing. Atari did something similar known as the Atari XE which had much better support that was based off the Atari 8-bit computers at the time. It helps that the Atari 800/400 had much more games released on carts than the C64.
@@teh_supar_hackr it's still inaccurate. i would've gone with something more ambiguous like "ONE of the worst selling consoles in gaming history" bc it DID sell pretty damn poorly but it isn't THE worst selling
I got hired in 2003 and we had DVD's. I remember we had one of those brand new $30 DVD players you could buy at Walmart as our store DVD player lol. I never heard of anyone using a CDi and video games were not popular like they are today in my area and someone would have told me or made jokes about it if I worked there at the time because we had some employees who were there a while - some since the mid to late 80's. Almost 20 years at that point.
I worked at a Burger King back in 99, and had to do that training disc. It was pretty short and boring. The better ones were the ones that you weren’t required to view but were encouraged to watch. It has been years, but I remember how cheesy they were. One training episode ended with an employee leaving work to go skydiving. In the next episode we discover that he is injured and lost his memory. Towards the end he is able to regain his memory through a quiz on the correct order of building a Whopper. I don’t that that series was CD-I, but might have been one of the VHS tapes. I just remember my assistant manager laughing at these videos during down time.
You should cover the old Murray Bridge Bunyip that supposedly has no surviving footage or audio…(but a few pictures.) I’ve always been a fan of that thing and have pulled various weird photos from Reddit pages and anywhere else I could find them. It would be a cool topic to talk about.
The CDI is not the worst selling video game console ever. The worse selling that I know of (their are likely some that have sold worse) is the HyperScan, selling about 10,000 units, most likely because of the pack in title, a licensed X-Men game.
As someone who worked at BK (in nz tho) I never got proper training or saw any training material. so its real strange not only seeing bk employee training media, but seeing it on the cd-i is wild to me
said it last time will say it again, I was trained on this one in 98. I remember the robbery thing, they yell you not to move or talk and just give them the money.
it's easy to understand really, the CD-i despite its poor hardware capabilities, can render FMV's with really high quality (like a VHS), and it's interactive nature was suitable for something like short quizzes, just like nowadays they use tablets or just cellphones. It was expensive, but less than a computer back then.
That McDonald’s video was one of the last videos of N*ck Robinson’s that I ever watched. He’s made some good content and still continues to, so it’s really such a shame. But I just can’t bring myself to support that guy anymore. I’m glad other channels like his exist so that I don’t need to worry about it anymore, and until right now I hadn’t thought about his stuff since not long after I stopped. It hasn’t been that long I guess but it feels like a while. Anyway, I’d rather support channels like this, LSSQ, blameitonjorge, and many others. Nick doesn’t deserve all that fame and attention he gets here on RUclips and I like to try and help others see that too. If you’re confused, he wasn’t always an independent person on RUclips; he used to work at Polygon until I believe he was let go. I encourage everyone to look into that whole debacle, and to stick to cool channels like this one instead.
@@icky_sticky_mars What he did was gross but is it really reasonable to call him a sex offender? As far as I've heard, he only went as far as flirting in an inappropriate context, which is harassment but not irredeemable violation in my opinion.

Rumour has it that the person who manages to collect all six Burger King CD-I discs will be able to bankrupt McDonald's with a snap of their fingers

Sometimes media that gets lost is just so ridiculous you have to stop and laugh at it for a moment.

The CDI is not the worst selling video game console ever. The worse selling that I know of (their are likely some that have sold worse) is the HyperScan, selling about 10,000 units, most likely because of the pack in title, a licensed X-Men game.
i would love to see some more companies training programs for this system hopefully more will be found eventually
The memories I remember those how I found out about the CDi
There was also a Spanish version of this used in Mexico in the late 90s and early 00s.
Was gunna say I remember that McDonald's DS Training game lol. But you immediately said it
I actually made copies of the ones we used at my sears. I'll have to check my storage unit
Can you make a video about the European Portuguese dub of The Backyardigans? It’s a really strange and tragic case worth it’s own video for me.
As someone who worked at BK (in nz tho) I never got proper training or saw any training material. so its real strange not only seeing bk employee training media, but seeing it on the cd-i is wild to me
I can relate. I used to work at BK, and I don't remember ever being properly trained. First day was horrible because of that.
You should do a video on the lost blameitonjorge videos, or lost media that was found, but then lost again.
I just played it this morning its ok
said it last time will say it again, I was trained on this one in 98. I remember the robbery thing, they yell you not to move or talk and just give them the money.
Wait they wanted 10 grand for a short training video thing on how to make 90s dodge vehicles?
Did it sell?
We gotta hope that these CD-i's batterys dont die either. they are a pain to replace
Who Needs Hotel Mario When You Have The Burger King Training Program

3:30 huh, funny you say that, i worked at mcdonalds and never watched a single training video
i thought Kroger had something like it, it's cheaper than having a instructor do the work.
All things lost, Please make a video about the lost Tegami Bachi Jump Festa Short.
Pizza hut also had a work training video game but it was on PC when I worked there.
I would say it's very similar to the McDonald's training game that came out second
I originally thought you would be on about the sneak king😂 good to know 😊

Just imagine how many memes would come out of this game

Well Phillips is a Dutch company, so would make sense we have it.
You know about Nick? 😅 interesting
So basically the CD-I was a DVD player?
Upload more often

Out of all the video game consoles Burger King had to choose from for their training program, they had to pick the Philips CDI!?
