Original copy?

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

Now, when you play cd-i games, what do you use (mostly)?

Tough question!

I tend to use a combination. Since nobody can use originals with CD-i Emulator that second option is kind of Null and Void by the way.

Given the choice at the moment I play with my Portable 370 the most, so it's "Original CD-i games and a physical CD-i player". Enjoy CD-i Emulator for different reasons, because I can capture excellent screenshots from the games that are compatible. Plus it's sure to add more features in the future, right CD-i Fan. Like "Step Frame" for us animators :wink:

OK, maybe that wasn't clear enough. I hope it is now, ofcourse I mean copies from the original cd-i discs or just downloads. I'm interested in how many of you only use downloads and who are still after the originals.

Originals All The Way!

I never could be bothered with downloading the games. Most of the time, my searches come up completely empty anyway, so I just spend the money on the original copies.

Plus, I'm a videogame collector by defualt, so anything to make my physical collection larger is a plus. :)

CD-i games are still fairly cheap so in my view it's easier just to buy them!

If any of you haven't already then BUY THE APPRENTICE, still discovering new secrets about this game with every passing day.

yes, The Apprentice is one of the few games which is still very playable, fluid, fun and fresh. The whole SPC style is very unique and still worth buying a cd-i player for, in my opinion! It surprizes me most of us still mainly use original game copies, that's ofcourse the best answer to hear ;)

Certainly nice to know the clicking happy 13 actually use originals! :D

The Apprentice is one stupendous release, just how much hidden stuff can they cram into one game?

A mix of both the originals on the physical player or downloaded discs on the physical player. Just cant really emulate the feeling of the original controllers in your hands lol.
