Morshu’s pins

People keep saying CD-i isn’t good, the truth is they just can’t stop talking about it.
People are still interested into that kind of stuff.

Those are pins from “Link – The Faces of Evil” on CD-i. Morshu, here is staring with 3 different positions taken from the cut scenes where he asks if you need a rope, a lamp oil or some bombs.

Personally I’m not supporting this kind of things because it’s just to make fun of it.
Still, it seams to be quality.
Made by @LemonCremeS.

Still, many collectors will want to have it.

Thank you Dopply for sharing this with us.

Dodge training title for employees

 

This double disc professional title poped-up on ebay this week for the insane price of 10,000$. Yes, it is true, no extra zeros on it…

This is one of the reasons, some unknown titles will never be tested or preserved. This is pure speculation get the bigger profit as possible.

You will tell me, everyone can sell to the price he wants, he owns the title, he decide what to do. Look at me for example… I want to go to Japan with my family for 50€ each… one thing is what I want, and one thing is what is real.

If having a complete CD-i collection is already difficult due to the incredibly large variety of titles, with prices like this, or even with prices around the 500$ and 1000$, maybe it isn’t bad idea to just look at the pictures on the internet…

Sorry about that, it is just me talking to myself…

Let’s go back to the business, 1997 Dodge Product Preview. We are talking about double CD used by Dodge for the sellers training, just many other companies did on CD-i.

Videos was shown and the employees had to answer questions.

After completing it, each employee get points. Those points was stored under their profiles stored in the CD-i player memory, this way, he could try to get a better scoring.

Dodge employees learn more about the 1997 Dodge cars, caravans and engineering  features on disc 1, and about trucks on disc 2.

It is about the 1997 Dodge world, but it has been made in 1996 by Chrysler Interactive Training.



Finally, thank you Sixtersfan105 for letting us know about it on ebay, and thank you to all preservationists that, I hope will never let us down, even with prices like this one…

Catalogue numbers confusion and titles languages mixed up!

Our good friend Retroman called me last day and showed me something that made a tilt in my mind…
Look at those two What’s That Bird? copies and discs. Both have the same catalogue number 8100016.
The one on the left just says “What’s that bird?” and the other on the right says “What’s that bird? – Britain and Europe”.
When we look at the discs, the one from the left says “What’s that bird? Europa” and the one from the right keep saying the same as the cover.

 


Now, let’s take a closer look at the disc from the left one…
We have an European catalogue number (8100016), an English title (What’s that bird?), a Dutch/German/Spanish (?) name (Europa) and all the copyrights texts are in French. What a confusion…


Retroman did put the disc on his CD-i player and both titles are exactly the same, 5 languages selection (French English, German, Italian and Spanish). So what happened with other titles out there, happened also here. The same version has been used for different countries.
The confusion here is about “Europa”. In 1992, Philips Media affiliates in Europe was emerging, the way how catalogue numbers should be given might still not be clear at that time, and being a multi-language one, “Europa” might be to embrace more than one country.

This discussion came a few days before MrMii6 and Seventy7 tagged me in the Discord server about Link™ – The Faces of Evil cover variant, using the English title for the Dutch version (with Dutch catalogue number).


I have another title for you that is Dutch that uses the European catalogue number, Body Contour.
But in this case, both discs (this is a double disc title) and the booklet, are using the Dutch catalogue numbers.


Another example are the Video-CD’s, you can easily find this kind of format over the internet, and many of them are subtitled for other languages.
Retroman also showed me one title from of his enormous Video-CD collection, Fine Things, an English language with Dutch subtitles.
This movie is using an European catalogue number (810****) instead of a Dutch one (814****).
