CDI Games: Do anybody Care?

[herr professor]

I was at the local thrift store today and in a box labeled NINTENDO GAMES 3.99 I saw about 12-15 cdi games in the hardshell case. I should've kept track of what they where but the names Tetris and golf spring to mind. Are these games worth anything to anyone? If you want me to check them out, I wouldn't mind going back to the shop for you, or tell you where it is in the nyc area.

 

 

wOrD!

The answer is a resounding, echoing, NO. Anybody into CDI is cheap enough to realize that paying more than $1 apiece is highway robbery.

 

I accumulated CDI for a little while. When I decided to unload the lot, I had trouble selling them at $2 apiece in a bundle on eBay. Finally I paid shipping to send them to a friend. Heavy pieces of crap.

 

I'm sure there are some CDI fanatics, and there are a couple of games that have value, but the other 75 or whatever are C R A P.

 

ian, down on CDI, but less down on 3D0

i know a good sack of games that are great to play on the cd-i - please let me know where this place is - the ones i want to go for go for a good amount on ebay and i cant afford much right now so real cheap is good for me right now

and FYI tothe cd-i haters

The video is great o nthe cdi and they do have some nice titles - but other than the good stuff, the large majority is all kids titles and bullshit "interactive" cd's

 

again inform me on this place

I've always thought about getting an old CDi just to fill out my collection. How many software titles came out for it, and how many of them were actual grown-up games? The only games I can think of are Burn:Cycle and another one I played at a Best Buy on a CDi with the MPEG module that had a cheezy American anime style intro, and the game was basically you flying through a FMV city shooting aliens. That's about all I remember about the CDi, except for those Phil Hartman and Burn:Cycle TV commercials.

i'm a newly minted CD-I owner, praise be to flea market gods, a very cheap score, and i'd love to get my hands on some more titles. i'm not gonna say its a great system, but neither is the channel F or the 3-DO and i'm fool enough to collect those as well.

 

if nobody else wants em give me a PM, i've got lots of other system games to trade.

http://www.pmpro.com/consumer/consumer/games.html <-- this site is good for looking though to see what games you might like :-) i wouldnt buy from there cause ebay is alot cheaper on most of those titles , maybe all of those games

 

 

and as you can see from my Sig i like both the 3DO and CDi

Okay, here's a question: Name your top five CD-I games, and why they're so good. I'd really like to know something about this system.

[JagWarlord]

I think people arnt interested in the system because its like a learning machine/videogame system. I heard it has alot of learning games for kids...

 

Id pick a 3DO over a CD-I system anyday. Atleast 3DO has one really unique and cool game, Captian Quazar. I can't think of any on the CD-I but, then again, I dont know much about the system.
