    You know what? Every time I talk to someone and they mention the words "two weeks" I put my fingers in my mouth, stretch my mouth open and start saying TWO..WEEKS.. kind of awkwardly.

    I remember seeing the infomercial for the CDi and wanting it because I was 8 or so and wanted everything, then after about 5 minutes I got bored and changed the channel to cartoons.

    I understand these are a bit hard to come by.
    Honestly I've seen almost as many 'demo discs' as I have regular releases in the wild. I've got a bunch of them myself, including Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. Maybe they've shown up in my area for a reason. I don't know if Philips had an office in this area that dealt with CD-i stuff in the past. Sadly, only the Zelda title is a game, all the rest of the demos I have are educational stuff, like learning how to play the guitar or art appreciation.

    Do you guys have to use these stupid 4chan-style replies? I know you people are young and wanna be 'hip' and stuff, but please, this 4chan crap has been done to death. I guess I wouldn't mind it if it was remotely funny, but it's not even that.

    I have to agree. Rosie has lost her humor-ability.

    I watched some of his videos before. He reviewed The Apprentice and it actually looks pretty good, it almost makes me want to get a system for that game. That was the only positive review that I remember watching, all the other videos I've seen have the game come across as horrible(like a sub par port of Micro Machines or The 7th Guest missing some puzzles, etc).

    I didn't know about this one, so I'll have to check it out.

    This thread reminds me (as always) that I want to spend some more time with the first two CD-i Zeldas and Hotel Mario (I'd say the same of 7th Guest but some kind of bug or hardware issue is stopping my progress in that one).

    ! Well I am not looking to be a "BIG SHOT COLLECTOR" I just enjoy collecting period, good and bad, I plan on getting more consoles I am sure to despise but I need to verify for myself. I enjoy experiencing systems I never did before, that is all. If I get to the point where I am like "OH THIS REALLY SUCKS and has no redeeming value" then I turn around and trade or sell it and move onto the next system I will love or despise ! Keep it in circulation and hopefully they find their way to somebody who appreciates them more.......
    Also, I realize about the "original" OSG here, it was a name I used on many forums before coming here and adjusted it just enough to be used here, it HAS caused some confusion in the past, for example when I started my REFS thread someone praised me up and down thinking I was the other OSG I corrected them as I wanted to build my own refs, which is cool, I have no issue with that, I just like to clear things up so I am not confused with someone else To be honest, given the chance I would do it over and sign up as MaximumRD (I go by that more these days) I just don't want to lose my posts and history I have built up here from scratch. I am just doing what I enjoy, having fun and sharing as I am sure many here can relate too..........

    I've had a CDI for years, but I have no software for it. I bought it from a lady at a fleamarket who thought it was a regular CD player for, I think, 10 bucks. I keep meaning to get some games to try out on it but never get around to it.

    The main problem with the system is that almost no developers tried to push the machine. The few fast action games play pretty well, and look as good as any SNES/Genesis game of the time. The Apprentice could compete pretty well.

    But, most of the games weren't programmed/designed very well.
