Chronicles #4 – Catalogue Country Code

The World of CD-i Chronicles #4

This chronicle will be a little bit shorter than the others, but not less important, especially when you are a real collector.
We are today going to discuss the reason of a CD-i title being the way it is…
Many of you asked me, how to define an USA or other country releases.

First of all it is important to remember that as a multinational company, Philips, using “Philips Media” label publisher was in different countries, so you will find “Philips Interactive Media of America” (PIMA) for USA releases, “Philips Media Iberica” for Portugal and Spain, “Philips Media France”, “Philips Media Italia”, etc…
Each of them will publish regional titles with Philips consent. Doing this, each titles published will get a catalogue number, and each catalogue number will get a regional number, so all titles will be easily recognized.

To be more clear and specific about this, here is what you need to do if you want to purchase titles from an unique country/language or more than one country.
