Japanese Karaoke set from 1992 until 1999!
Blazers posted on our Forum a topic related to the 172 titles from a Japanese Karaoke collection he owns…
When we added all of them, one by one, we noticed that but didn’t talk about…
The point is, with a number of 172 titles from a single collection (at least the known ones), it is extremely difficult to publish them in only 1 year. In fact, we can definitely say it is the longest collection of a single collection for the CD-i than goes from 1992 until 1999.
More impressive is the fact the layout is always the same. Same letter type, letter size, color, using the same template along 7 years. Even with a change in the Publisher and Producer during the lifetime, you can definitely confirm by yourself this. Just look at the first and last disc printed (at the top of this article).
Even if the CD-i didn’t succeed in Japan, far from it… Karaoke was and still is one of the most popular entertainment for the Japanese community. Formats like CD Graphics (CD+G), CD-i, Video-CD, all supported by the Philips CD-i system.
You can view all of the 172 titles, listed here.

Philips Media typo on Karaoke – Zing Mee Met de Nederlandse Tophits! vol. 1
In fact, when we inserted Karaoke – Zing Mee Met de Nederlandse Tophits! vol. 1 Long Box version, we noticed an error.
At the back of the box it is written 8100069 but at the side, disc and ring, it is 8140069.
It is absolutely normal to be a 814**** like number as it is a Dutch title.
The jewel case of the same title is just fine, you will see 8140069 everywhere.
With the KLIK unreleased title information, we finally discovered the title that actually use the 8100069 catalogue number.
So, there is a typo from Philips Media with Karaoke – Zing Mee Met de Nederlandse Tophits! vol. 1 Long Box version.
DjKoelkast took some pictures to confirm this fact. I also want to thanks Rosewood and RetroMan for being actively available for any help we may need about this and other subjects.
KLIK the unreleased kids CD-i game!
Thanks to Mike Stancliffe who shared the disc picture at Philips / Magnavox CD-i Collectors Club Facebbok Group, we can now enjoy screenshots of KLIK.
This is an educational title that will help your kids to learn words from different countries with the help of images and animations. Using pictures form the Canadian Éditions Rényi who made several dictionaries full of pictures for children, and published by the Italian Sidac S.p.A, you are able to choose between several languages as:
English (US), English (UK), French, Italian, German, Spanish (European) and Spanish (Latino-american).
This unreleased title from 1992 got his last version with the Testing Phase 2 at 1.02 on April 25 1994. With those 2 dates, we can see how long it took to reach this title build version.
Alan_CDiZone, our titles informer also do have this one, so we will get some more screenshots to add in the future.
