I picked a busted one of e-bay for cheap, and I've spend the last two weeks or so fixing it. I got it up and running pretty quickly, but it took awhile to build an adapter that lets me use a Sega Genesis joypad since I couldn't find a real CD-i controller.
Now that it's working, I'm sort of at a loss of what to do with it. I have other consoles like the 3DO and Pippin that have weak libraries, but even those have one or two games worth playing. So far I've found literally nothing worth playing on the CD-i. The Zelda games are interesting, but neither of them are remotely enjoyable. Hotel Mario is so-so, but boring after the first 2 minutes. I bought Dimo's Challenge of e-bay, and it's not totally terrible for a Chip's Challenge clone. IHaven't bothered with any of the FMV games since I don't like the genre.
Does anybody have any recommendations? I've heard good things about The Apprentice, so I'll keep an eye out for it on e-bay.
