I've never seen this style before, only Phillips and the Magnavox version, 220 and the top loader. I seem to not be able to find anything on the net about this particular modle either.

Anybody ever see one of these? Can you comment on it?

it's a console from the 3do / mega cd days, all of the 1st gen cd consoles failed.

the cdi only has a handful of good games which are conversions of arcade stuff like mad dog mcree and dragons lair etc

i know what a cd-i is and the type of games. I thought i've seen all the different designs but i never saw this one before and wanted to know if anybody else has/or had one that could comment on if it was better than the original designs or not.

many manufactures made the cdi, just like the 3do.

I OWN a CD-I.

It wasn't designed as a games console at all. It was more designed as a sort of 'lifestyle' product. It could play Video CDs, and a LOT of them were released, I believe specifically for use with the CD-I. Though it could just play games aswell. Some of them are good, but... most are pretty naff.

I have Hotel Mario.

Never had any CD-I to run it on, though. Still, for 50p from a car boot sale I had to give it a good home.

There's a 3DO in my local gamestation for £30, I'm tempted to buy it out of curiosity.

Should I?

 

[junker]

why not i'm tempted to pick one up as well, just to add to the collection, though. there aren't many 3do games that stand out...

I always saw the 3DO as the superior of the two. Dunno why.

3do is much better than the CD-I, and there are quite a few good games for the 3do.
