Chronicle #30 – Marlboro – Follow Your Dreams


Chronicle #31 – Marlboro – Follow Your Dreams

Here is something we really don’t use to see a lot, Marlboro – Follow Your Dreams.
This is a free promotional disc from Philip Morris, the owner of Marlboro brand.
The objective was to promote the Marlboro Adventure Team that used in the 90’s to make sports adventures events all around the world. Motorbike, jeep and rafting was the main sports all combined into an unique competition where the American cowboy lifestyle was also very improved. During 10 days teams from all around the world raced to be the best.

This promotional disc is a German release from Philip Morris GmbH back in 1993, one year after the official 1st Marlboro event.

This is a CD-i Ready disc, that means it will work in a CD-i player and an Audio CD player (music only).
Here are the music just for you! Keep listening the music while reading the review. 😉
Remember, you can download the MP3 music by clicking on the right mouse’s button and choosing “Save as…”.

Keep reading…

One Arabian School CD-i disc discovered


I found this title right after Blazers explained on our forum how he discovered his beautiful Knowlogy CD-i player.
I am in touch with people who worked on those titles, let’s see if we can get more information about those 103 different Arabian CD-i titles.

It says:

General Agent: Saudi Knowledge Company, Abanami Commercial Center, Salah El Din Al Ayoubi Road.
6th Grade of Primary School
Ministry of Acquaintance
Knowlogy – Knowledge
GP61
Year 1997

As the 103 titles are for School Grades from 1 to 12, this specific disc is for Grade 6th.
We have to discover if the GP61 have something to see with the Grade 6.

More info soon…

Knowlogy K2000-MSS CD-i player

Blazers, once again, contributed on our Forum with this Knowlogy K2000-MSS CD-i player.

Here is his cote:

Turns out that we can add a whole new part of the World to the list of places where CDi got some action back in the day:

From Ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-CD-I-Knowlogy-CD-INTERACTIVE-PROCESSOR-MODEL-K2000-MSS-1997-/203133203478?pageci=82dfd023-77bb-48ea-8d9b-0d4d633b541b

It arrived intact, and includes the remote. There’s an odd power prong for which I’ll need an adapter before testing it.

Now, I made sure to do some research on this, but all I found was the following:

http://www.aast.edu/en/centers/aast_centers/contenttemp.php?page_id=41000004

Here’s the relevant info:

Developing 103 educational courses on CD-ROM and CD-I discs revised and authorized by the Ministry of Education of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (grades 1 to 12) in cooperation with Knowlogy International.”

So for Arabian CDi software, there could be over 100 titles, none of which have anything online about them.

Does anyone here know anything further on these Knowlogy players and titles?

And in case anyone is interested, yes, I am willing to sell or trade the player for CDis that I don’t yet own.

Some pictures of the CD-i player:



We already knew CD-i was in some way on the Saudi Arabia market. We will make our researches and let you know more news about it.

Chronicle #30: NFL – Instant Replay

The World of CD-i Chronicles #30

NFL – Instant Replay

I am going to review a game not well-known by many of you, especially if you are from Europe called NFL – Instant Replay.
I want to thank you Seventy7 (our website member) for sending me a copy of this title.
NFL means National Football League, but you might know in other-seas, football is in fact American Football… our football, in Europe, is Soccer in USA… Are you still with me…?
I am not a big fan of NFL, to be true, I only knew what is a Touchdown… but after playing this game, believe me, I know much better this fighting game… I mean… this sport game…! 😉

SOME HISTORY:
Produced by CapDisc and published by Philips Media of America (PIMA) in 1995, this is game is licensed by NFL, one of the most famous sports in the USA. CapDisc is also responsible for games like Mad Dog McCree™ and many other games available on CD-i.
