cd-i article 2012

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.

Here is a link to a recent cd-i article published by CVG...

Apologies if you've already seen it.

Interesting read...

Well-written article, despite being relatively short.

I like their words about The Apprentice: "Just a traditional, fantastical 2D platformer that played to precisely none of the CD-i's strengths, and got away with it."

Thanks for sharing! :)

I liked reading the article.

This quote cracked me up ...

"Time has shown us that it is indeed possible to make Tetris crap if a developer tries hard enough."

:P

Glad you liked the article Trev. How have you been? Haven't seen you on here for ages as well... how is your kyocera? Is it fixed?

Yeah, been away for a while. Good to see the forum is still plugging away though (albeit slowly) :wink: I'll be checking in more often. In fact, got a couple Cd-i games in the mail heading my way. :)

Yes me too Trev, from USA! Looking forward to playing them. If only we still had Oldergames and Charles Doty though - then we may have the chance to play a BRAND NEW cd-i game!
