"As most people are aware at least to some degree, Nintendo at one point had plans for a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES. Originally they partnered with Sony, but that fell through, then they switched to Philips...

April 1992, volume 35 of Nintendo Power. A two page Super NES "Technology Update" explaining just what these wacky optical disc things are and how they benefit mankind."
