Through a friend of a friend, I managed to score a Philips Cd-I in trade for a spare copy of "NiGHTS" for Saturn. I recieved:
-Philipcs Cd-I "sideloader" system with hookups. Any info on the difference in system types would be helpful.
-2 Controllers. One looks exactly like the original gravis PC gamepad. The other resembles more of a Saturn pad, minus the shoulder buttons and with fatty grips.
-Blue shooter gun
-Complete "Mad Dod Magee"
-Loose "Space Ace"
They guy who traded me the system warned me that the system was god-aweful. He said space ace was too slow and required percision timing (a la speeder bike levels of NES Battletoads). He then said that Mad dog Magee was just plain flawed in design. He stated that no matter where on the TV that he placed the "recieving eye" for the light gun, it would always somehow be off, which made the game unplayable. Despite this any other foul words I have heard about the system, I was excited to get it. Every system has its highlights, and I intend to find them.
Do you guys have any recommendations for the system? Any half decent light gun games on the system? Or any personal stories of the systems conception and downfall?
Any words would be appriciated.
Thanks,
