The World of CD-i Chronicle #9
The website celebrate April’s Fools Days 1 year after we came back. But the story is longer than that… let’s have a look together!
Officially launched on the 13th of March 2003, the first ideas dated from 1997, six years earlier. Unfortunately without any computer to create the website, Omegalfa (Portugal) kept all CD-i related stuff over the years and later near the fall of December 2002 started to code the 1st version of the Le Monde du CD-i website…
Our Open-Source responsible Topxicemu, is leaving The World of CD-i team.
Belgian but living in Canada, this CD-i addicted have to say good bye to us.
His job and new projects don’t let him focus into the CD-i scene as much as he would like to.
He was always working on the shadow but did some great work along the years since I meet him 15 years ago.
He is the responsible of the still not concluded “CD-i Repair Guide” in French. We worked together to increase the information on the guide. Some websites and forums share the pictures of the guide, with the original file we will add it on The World of CD-i translated to English.
During the year 2019 he was mostly giving support to our user’s hardware problems.
At The World of CD-i, we are now 6 in the team, I will share with CD-i Fan the Open-Source section.
We wish you the best for your new career!
Thank you Brother!
Stay safe!
Chronicle #8
With my job and the Covid-19 who took the whole week, I had to make a last minute chronicle!
Oh damn! What the hell?! Hell? Yeah! Hell! Let’s talk about Alien Gate!
SOME HISTORY:
This is not my favourite game, by far, but there is some very cool graphics on it. When Philips was still balancing between the family multimedia player and the gaming introduction, SPC Vision came with a demo of this game and Philips loved it! Very worked graphics for the early 90’s.
This is how Alien Gate came to the Philips CD-i, from a scratch demo made by a new programmer that became a SPC Vision employee.
For Console Purist Facebook Group, here is The World of CD-i Chronicle #7, here is the review of Atlantis – The Last Resort!
Enjoy!
