Remember those Cd-i Zelda games?
 

I played them when I was young, while at my cousin's house. All I remember is some sort of pain, shortly followed by vomiting. They were awful. Did anyone else have the misfortune to play those?

No, I have never even come near one, what are you, crazy? I heard they were horrible though. What was it like?

despite the fact I only know of it from the EGM/Seanbaby review of the worst video games of all time, You should still be burned for the mere mention of those dark, dark days

here is a link to the review (director's cut) linkage

I think my punishment was playing the things. The controls were horrible, and the whole thing was...bleck. I can't really remember much about it, though. I think I've chosen to forget. I don't really consider them as Zelda games, just some...hideous, foul, disgusting mutation of Zelda.

That's what the Dark World from Zelda: A Link to the Past was like before Link saved the world again.

Seriously...nobody considers them real games. In fact, the only reason they're known is because no true Zelda Fan can not live their life without cursing their existence.

I know the horror of these games, and you know what the sad part about this whole thing is. Think if nintendo would have gone the oposite way in the deal. For those that don't know, nintendo talked with both phillips and sony about making a cd drive for the super famicom, phillips being the cd-i and sony's being project playstation. nintendo decided to say screw sony and worked with phillips, and sony was like fine then, we'll go create our own game system, but with blackjack, and hookers.

I wonder what the gaming world would have been like if nintendo would have been nice to sony and used their product.

thats simple, Nintendo would have absorbed Sony's games and things would have been one-sided untill X-box showed up

Yeah, but a Playstation/Gamecube would beat the X-box down. Both of those systems have everything the other lacks.

Except a built-in hard drive and modem.

*cough*

anyway, yeah, I ignore those spawns of satan on CD format. The last great memories I had of Zelda was in cartridge format, with Wind Waker closely being a part of that 'fond memory' category.

**fumes in rage**
I thought the cartoons were a mockery - does anyone know the developers of this 'game,' and whether they are still alive? And possibly their addresses\schedules\small children?
