    The CD-i might be the most misunderstood "console" of all-time

    in Classic Console Discussion

    Posted · Edited by rhcocker

    We understood it and let it die, it's just not good enough as a videogame machine.

    [Yes I have one and I do enjoy it from time to time but I would not go as far as recommending it to anyone unless he/she ran out of things to collect]

     

    I think this statement helps prove the OP's point that the CD-I is misunderstood (i.e. it was not intended as a "videogame machine").

     

    While I have played games I like on the CD-I, I would never defend it as a gaming console. It completely sucks in this regard. I am a big fan of documentaries/nature programs and I have spent a ton of hours soaking in all the edutainment media that the CD-I has to offer. I also get a kick out of all the retro 90s pop-culture videos in the CD-I library.

     

    If I'm in the mood for an active game, I wouldn't even consider the CD-I. If I am in the mood for a more passive gaming/learning experience, then the CD-I is a great option.

    You may have to PM Ninjabba to his account here on AA. He says his website was having problems, as I signed up twice on his site and he informed me he never got the sign-up. Some sign-ups went through to him and others did not. I PMed him a month ago and I am still waiting as well. I think he is working his way through the sign-ups that did go through on the website, and then he will start on the "PM" people. Unfortunately, you may be waiting longer if you were affected by the website problems like some of us.

     

    Thanks for the info. It is difficult to be patient when so many happy customers post to this thread.

     

    Considering I have been following this title since day 1 and doing everything required to reserve one, I am surprised how I ended up so far down the queue.
