That's great! Can you tell something more about it? Was it hard to program a 3D perspective game for the CD-i? Did the game share an engine with the game Ram Raid? And how did the game sell?
I provided a lot of info and background on how I wrote this game here... www.blackmoonproject.co.uk/statements/paul_clarke.php and we sold approx. 50k copies I believe. Had to stop development of Atlantis to use same game engine for RamRaid (yes!) and then went back to complete Atlantis
No, it definitely isn't. Actually half of the VB's library is at least decent to good with a few great titles. Not bad for a flop of a system. You listen to RUclips comedians too much.
Huh, I didn't know there WERE a hundred games released for the CD-I. This was fascinating, especially seeing as how you usually just hear about the Mario and Zelda games.
Well, quite some people in the Netherlands had a CD-i. For it's time, it was actually quite impressive, though most games weren't as much fun as on SNES or Sega Mega Drive. Almost all games also aged horribly.
I had one as a kid. The only games I really liked were Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, and Zelda. The rest I had were pretty awful. My parents played the Jokers Wild and Jeopardy games a lot. Years later I got another one and burned as many games as I could. Sadly didn't find any gems, yet here I am looking for more.
I had one as a kid. I played the mini golf, the apprentice, 7th guest (a horror game), little devil, the roller coaster one, hotel mario, etc. all the time. I still have it in storage. It was the weirdest, lamest, best console ever made. T^T
can anyone help me? im looking for a particular game or educational game on CD-i. Its about learning about the world and the culture of each region like great wall of china, quiz with the sphinx in egypt, etc. It kinda look cartoony with two main characters. I think there's like Korean kanji somewhere in the game. Does anyone know the title?
Such an Underated system considering it was released in 1991 two years before the 3DO. For FMV gaming it was probably the best console. The Sound & FMV image quality was exceptional for the time... Outdated now with DVD and of course was underpowered by the 3DO and PS1, because it didnt had 3d capabilies. But on par with the Amiga CD32 that was a PC in disguise and was also released two years after. And dont forget they delayed the release for almost 4 years, if they released it in 87, it would have been a lot more sucessfull...
Yes, it was ahead of its time, with first to have internet access. However, the slowness of the single speed cd drive is pretty hard to tolerate nowadays.
Can anyone help me I'm trying to find name of a game where you and a bird get shipwrecked in the Bermuda triangle, you have to escape by recording animal noises on your sampler? And build musical instruments? And help these pink guys? You had to get passwords for caves..It was so so fun and educational? Help!
I don't understand why this didn't do well. It had way better graphics than the Nintendo and the saga. The games look better than sagacy d games. I was Surprise when I seen how good the 3D games looked They were smooth compared to the PlayStation that came out years later. All boxy and low resolution.
I think that… The CDi was not really meant to be a gaming console. It was primarily supposed to be used as a multimedia hardware to casually flip through. Its controls were similar to a TV remote, and playing fast-paced games with it went badly.
God those games look just awful. Meanwhile in those days we were basking in the glory that was Super Nintendo with hit after hit. I just picked up a CD-I for my retro collection and I’ve purchased 3 games; the apprentice, mutant bodyslam or whatever, and link faces of evil. I think that’s it for me.
"Man, those 5 seconds of gameplay look terrible" Burn Cycle, The Apprentice, Zenith, Hotel Mario (seriously) and Lost Eden are genuinely enjoyable games. Mega Maze, Mutant Rampage bodyslam and Kether are flawed but respectable. Obviously the SNES, a console designed specifically for games, is going to have better games. SNES and Genesis were kings, up until the PlayStation came along and blew them and their successors out of the water.

Atlantis: The Last Resort was the game I wrote - best time of my career (under name Paul Clarke)

Thanks!
cool that is one of the most impressive games on the cdi. Its a pretty rare and expensive game now days
Thanks! I've still got a copy somewhere - I should dig it out and have a play again
Still better than the virtual boy...
I would play Wario Land VB any day over any of the titles in this list
No, it definitely isn't. Actually half of the VB's library is at least decent to good with a few great titles. Not bad for a flop of a system. You listen to RUclips comedians too much.
Looks like you ran into a couple of Virtual (Fan)boys. :)
Huh, I didn't know there WERE a hundred games released for the CD-I. This was fascinating, especially seeing as how you usually just hear about the Mario and Zelda games.
There are way more than 100 games. The system had a software run from 1991 all the way to 1999!
There are around 400 titles for the CD-i, but many of those are edutainment, music, and other non-gaming titles.
The max amount of official cdi games were 196. Though that is still an impressive library.
@@weegoh8324 Especially considering it was never brought out to specifically be a games machine in the first place!
i love that you used music from the apprentice. that song is great.
Thanks!
We gotta find the Princess!

FMV looks surprisingly good.
FMV itself is usually alright, but the FMV game as game is pretty horrible.
I wonder how it was for kids growing up with this console

A class mate had one back in the day (they were expensive).
When I reminded him about this years later he wanted to change the subject.

It's not Marco Polo? (nr 56 in the video)
never play hotel mario tho, the apprentice all day everydaay. Nope not Marco Polo
Stickybear might be the game your looking for.
@@SirDinielFortesque memory unlocked
Wow nice list!
Marco Polo, Burn Cycle, Defender of the Crown 7th Guest, Mad Dog Mcree, Space ace & Dragons Lair
Wow i never knew about this console, I'm surprised 🙀
I've only seen one in my life and its the one I own now.

Nice of the princess
thats philips CDI 450 ?
Buena música. Muchas gracias
Absolutely love it
The video or the Philips CD-i? :)
What? No Strip Poker Live?
:) I don't pretend this list is complete, there are more titles missing I couldn't find video footage of (e.g. Text Tiles, Labyrinth of Crete, Clue 2)

Is it a CD-i game?
Maybe it was released in UK only?
I did some research, I think the game you mean is actually called "Shipwreck" (1993). Is that possible?
@@applemctomthe world will never know…
Thanks. Rare videogame.

Top?
🤣
Its like the tallest Midget in the circus.
1:41 Polish game???
No, it's an English game based on the book by the British-Polish writer Pieńkowski.
Hotel mario
4 minutes
Me: *tap the video*
Video: it's was 3 minutes ._.
So, 1 minute to do something worthwhile instead of watching RUclips video's ;-)
Wow about 5 to 10 may have been okay
"Voyeur"
Why the quotes?
One of my favorite fmv games of all time
3DO is so much better :')
I agree the 3DO was a bit better, but not "much better" :)
total eclipse, road rash, +fmv titles
id say it was miles ahead but im biased as we had one from a garage sale as a kid
This the type of shit you play in 1994 for sure
Fitting music
No hotel mario? How about this:its a me super Mario on ps4! WAHOO!
Check 1:33-1:34 again. It is in the video.
More AVGN episodes

Everywhere else in the world we were baking in glory from the sega megadrive.
you need to get INCA and wacky world of miniature golf.. those are two of the best hidden gems on the console imo

Those are quotes from the horrible Zelda CD-i games :P
HolholholholHOLD ON... there is actually a game called Voyeur?... and you're just creeping on women?... WHAT?!
Who came here cuz of the Nintendo games
What? Mcree has his own game?
Two of them!
100 games in 4 minutes and not 1 looked appealing sheesh lol
The Apprentice (not related to Trump) was an alright, colorful platform game.
