Chronicle #24 – Abrunhosa & Bandemónio

The World of CD-i Chronicles #24

Here is the 1st review of a Digital Video on CD-i title, that means you will need the Digital Video Cartridge to play this title.
As I am Portuguese, I had to start with a Portuguese CD-i release of course, a Portuguese exclusive title.
I am not a fan of Abrunhosa & Bandemónio music as I do not like his way to sing (just like if he talk instead of singing…).

Thank you Alan Bradford for offering me this title. Alan was the owner of Philips CD-i Zone Facebook page, now used by someone else without asking for permission to use it…

SOME HISTORY:
Pedro Abrunhosa & Bandemónio developed by C.I.T.I. in 1995, the very first Portuguese Multimeda dedicated to music and video for CD-i.
Today he is doing a solo career. The Bandemónio ended in 2010.
C.I.T.I. with a good experience on CD-i titles has been chosen to release this title that provide a very good amount of multimedia resource and options!

I bought a CD-i 450 player in February (when the World was still “normal”) as 2nd hand.
The player wasn’t reading any discs and the Timekeeper was dead.
Here we are going to solve all those  problems, together!
