Buy any new CD-i titles lately?
I just got 2 that I've wanted for a while ...
Antistatic & MicroMachines.
I mainly wanted Antistatic since I like the 3DO title Digital Dreamware, and they are very similar (made buy the same team)
Micro Machines will give me another opportunity for some rare 2 player CD-i action (thankfully my wife loves video games)
These are my first CD-i buys of 2011. How bout everyone else?

I had a bid on Dark Castle the other day.. until someone outbid me (it was going cheap, $2 or so before shipping).. I still don't have a system though.

My last few purchases have been "Arcade Classics" (because I love Namco) which hasn't come in the mail yet, "CDi Online Issue 1" (a bit disappointing, though I still got some retro enjoyment from it) and "Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia" (no comment).
I like "Antistatic". A Very...interesting release.

Antistatic is indeed "interesting". Hex put out two other CD-i titles from what I understand, and I assume they are all quite similar but I've yet to play them all.

Nope, it didn't pan out asides from me getting my money back a month later. 20+ games, and nothing to do with them... well, that is, until now! Just today I sent a fellow AtariAger a payment for a nice, CIB 450 model. Unfortunately it doesn't have the DVC, which I will have to track down later, but everything else looks great. At least I will be able to play the majority of the games I have.. after I get a proper controller, that is!Trev wrote:Things were never able to pan out w/the one you were supposed to get a few months back ...? Gosh, that really sucks.
Well, your bidding on games, so I guess that means your planning on getting one soon. Hope it works out for you.

Thanks, Trev! Fortunately I do have a few point 'n click titles, so I will be able to make-do with them via the stock controller on the 450. I wish it game with an actual gamepad, but I digress.. Here's to hoping one pops up on evilBay soon so I can play those action titles appropriately!

Quite honestly Alan, there are a lot of reasons... They have jacked up their fees to where it's not always beneficial to sell there; they have restructured their rules/regulations where nearly any buyer can get a refund for whatever reason (this is TERRIBLE for sellers, especially honest ones); these are just to name a few...Alan_Eng wrote:Why do you call it Evilbay?
Keep in mind I've been using the service since the mid/late '90s and have seen the changes (you may have, too, but if I recall correctly, other auction services were more popular overseas). That's also not to say I still don't use the service. On the contrary, I use it a LOT.. But a lot more than I would like, since I know the implications involved, on a variety of levels...
