Deja Vu II is on it? That's cool.

Snatcher and Policenauts didn't come out for it.

I play burned CD-i games almost exclusively. YMMV depending on CD-i model, burner, and media. For reference mine's a CDI-220, I use Taiyo Yuden CDR media, and an old 4x sony CDR drive.

It's not bad, which is really good for the CD-i. It's got a really goofy 90s new-age style to it though.

Badly. It could be passable for a laugh, but actually playing the game requires a lot of repetition and memorization.

I recommend The Apprentice and Plunderball. Defender of the Crown is a pretty good port I think, but I was never any good at that game so it's hard to be sure.

Honestly a lot of the fun of the CD-i is seeing just how bad it gets.

I've played burned CD-i games without issue. Mine is also a CDi-220. I've used Verbatim and Sony CDs burned on a Thinkpad DVD burner. No issues. I get them from emuparadise. Its just a bin and cue file, basic stuff.

Those games are quite expensive, you know. Like, over $100, last I heard.

I think Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon aren't THAT expensive, but Zelda's Adventure is meant to go for quite a hefty sum.

that's fine. I'm not planning on getting a CDi. But I'm just saying if I DID, those are the games I would want to hunt down and add to the collection.

Didn't playboy release some VideoCDs for the CDi? It would be a neat conversation piece, anyway...

Yes, there are some adult titles. Haven't bothered with any myself. But if I found some I'd buy them as a conversation piece.
