CD-I games

[Mog_the_Destroyer]

Found 10 CD-I discs in the wild at a Goodwill Store in Manassas, VA. All are complete as far as I can tell, some damage to the outside box slide on some. Discs are:

1. Treasures of the Smithsonian
2. Battleship
3. Richard Scarry's Busiest Neghborhood Disc Ever!
4. David and Goliath
5. Mother Goose Hidden Pictures
6. The Smithsonian presents The Riches of Coins
7. Cartoon Jukebox
8. Mother Goose Rhymes to Color
9. Richard Scarry's Best Neighborhood Disc Ever!
10. The Emperor's New Clothes

20 bucks for all 10 discs couldn't turn that down.

Any questions about them feel free to msg me. I saw on the rarity guide that some of the info for them is unknown if I can shed any light by what is on the boxes or discs I'll be happy to help. Kinda a double post 'cause I got them this weekend and posted there as well , but I want to make sure that the DP people see if I can help there Guide. All I need now is a CD-I to play them on. Any suggestions on which one to try and get?!?

Before you go out and get a CD-i, I really recomend you get your hands on some games that are at least worth playing. Those titles that you got are not so hot, and honestly I think that the $20 may have been a waste of your cash (as far as playabilitiy is concerned) if collecting is more your thing, then it was probably a good thing.

At least get your hands on Burn Cycle, Escape From Cyber City, Kether, One of the Zelda games (for laughs) and Voyeur - to name a few. To tell you the truth, there are not that many excellent CD-i games. Most of those gaming experiences seemed as good as they were b/c of the time that they were released - alot of the titles (except maybe the ones mentioned above) have not really held through the test of time.

I agree on the selection of games you have there. Some additional titles you may want to pick up are Lit'l Devil, 7th Guest, Hotel Mario, Axis & Allies, Defender of the Crown, Lords of the Rising Sun, Braindead 13, and Wacky World Miniature Golf.

Ya looks like you picked up someones edutainment stash. Ida probably dropped 20 bones on them too but... honestly dont think Id play any.

I collect pretty much anything for a home console, be it edutainment or kick ass to thats crap kinda games. Saw them for 20 bucks so I said what the hell. Now I need something to run them on cause this is my first foray into the CD-I system. There are just so many different versions of the console that I don't know which one to get that will let me play as many of the games as possible. Trust me I know that most if not all of the discs are crap to play or watch but they were just 20 bucks and I would have gotten them eventually. The CD-I is on my list to collect one day.

I have the exact opposite problem. I found a CD-I 910 for $20 at a fleamarket for but I have no games. I never see them in the wild and I haven't jumped into Ebaying them yet cause I'm not sure which ones are any good.

All I can tell you about the 910 is that it does not come with the the mpeg card needed to play some games and VCDs built in and the controller is a rather lame remote control with a thumbstick on it.

I personally have the 210 with a DVC installed so I can play everything as far as I can tell. The 450 looks sort of cool since its meant to be like a game console, and I believe it comes with a game pad. I believe it had a built in DVC, but I could be wrong.
