Felix the Cat – Review

Thanks to Steep Haywire, without his charity and good graces the world would never be able to play this unreleased CD-i title! Not only did he share it with us, but he jumped through all of the hoops to try to get the best dump possible.
THANK YOU Steep Haywire!!

Also a Very Special Thanks to Seventy7 and his Preserve CD-i website for sharing every time with us titles in first hand.

Created by EMG Publishing, this game actually never got released to CD-i but Philips Media did gave the catalogue number 8100250 to the title, so it was meant to be released in 1995, but for some reason didn’t make it. Only the PC-CDROM got published by Philips Media in the same year, still a CD-i prototype version exists but was very well kept!
The Adaptation for CD-i was in charge by Gary McGroarty and the CD-i programmer was David Armstrong.
The complete game’s name is Felix the Cat’s Giant Electronic Comic Book.

Website Mega Improvement

The website is being improved at this moment (and since a few weeks now).
Slowly you will see some “little” changes that will definitely blowup the way you use to surf  over the site for your searches. I am sure many of you have already noticed some changes…

This will take at least 4 months to conclude… but you can be sure you will enjoy it!
We will announce when it will be finished. For now, you will still be able to visit the website as normal.


Othello & Mega Maze catalogue numbers

If you take a closer look at both discs calatogue numbers, you will see they match. But as they are completely different titles, this can’t happen as Philips Media always gave unique numbers for each titles.
But there is more… Othello® and Mega Maze shares the same number twice.

Othello – Testing Phase 1 uses 8100083 (1993/11/26)
Mega Maze final release uses 8100083 (1993/09/13)

Mega Maze – Testing Phase 1 uses 8100163 (1993/03/04)
Othello® final release uses 8100163 (1993/??/??)

We will assume the final release title as the correct catalogue number.

This is not the first time we saw those kind of errors, look here.
Typo from Philips Media? A change of catalogue number in the middle of the way?
That is not a problem as we saw it and defined how to pass through this issue.
