Wow, amazing score there. Let us know what you think of the Zelda games.

Hell of a find. You could make some serious profit off that. You might want to consider that, being that the games will probably provide you with... minimal entertainment.

Yeah I've had it for a couple of months and have only turned it on. I will probably use it as a trade in the future. I don't ever sell stuff I just trade or give stuff to friends. The Zelda games aren't really worth much in auction and the BINs are always in the $30 range but sit a while

They aren't? I was under the impression they were extremely valuable. They go for monster prices on eBay.

Zelda's adventure is the rare one and tops $100 in an auction but the other two don't in an action. The BINs aren't a good value indicator on them. Most don't even get more than 2-3 bids. Still cool to have though.
Other games I found were
Zombie Dinos
Kether
Name That Tune
Kether
Laser Lords
Tetris
Hanna Barbera's Cartoon Carnival
Flinstones/Jetsons

and a bunch of sweet sweet edutainment games.

I actually found quite a few games I like for my cd-i.

The Apprentice is a colorful quite enjoyable platformer, controls are little off though.

Vouyer is one of the better FMV games out there, it plays kinda like the movie Rear window.
Image

Mutant Rampage Bodyslam, not the best Beat-em-up but still fun even with the goofy cutscenes.
Image

Lucky Luke another colorful sidescroller.
Image

Accelerator, a top view racer thats quite addictive.
Image

Christmas Crisis another platformer not as fun as the other two.
Image

Pyramid Adventures, yet again another platformer, this ones got to be the rarest cd-i game.
Image

Tetsuo Gaiden an actually decent shmups on the cd-i.
