Tetris on Cdi is certainly a bit different, mostly the strange backgrounds as you play @thetword90 . .

Every console had that one killer game that launched. For the CDI this was it. Burn cycle…..the graphics for back then would’ve been amazing but lord is it an awful launch title @thetword90 . .

Quite possibly one the oddest consoles to be dumped on my lap on a Saturday morning, this Philips cdi 450 is such a cool console though. And Sumo’s quest is epic! @thetword90 . .

shaped like a console (fanart/chat)

A few weeks ago, I saw a Let’s Play of Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil, back to back. The games are somewhat obtuse about direction, so seeing a first time player bumble their way through was a hilarious treat.

I, myself, have never played either game and never wished to because of the strange animations and negative cult status. Turns out, both titles are fun as hell (from a watcher’s perspective, anyway). I wouldn’t mind playing them myself on an emulator tbh.

The animations remind me of ScummVM games somewhat. I do have a little theory that the developers may have worked in the cartoon animation industry before working on these games, but I’m not certain on that at all.

As for the console…? The streamer’s chat had a really interesting discussion about what the hell this console was ‘supposed’ to be and what it wasn’t. I’d say this rando really summed it up best:

Aaand…to this person’s credit, that is…strangely what this console looks like (one of the models anyway)
