I've found a CD-i title that is not in the database
http://mame.spludlow.co.uk/Software.aspx?list=cdi&soft=essentia

I think it's a catalogue from an english mail-order firm.
It's from 1994 as seen on their website :

1994
Freemans produces an interactive CD for its customers, which wins several awards

Nice.

I wish I could buy this one but it's too expensive especially with shipping costs.

This is a video-cd, so always compatible with CD-i.

Some video-cd, like this one have "compact disc interactive" on it, with extras on it not available on video-cd players.

I will add this one, I already knew it but still didn't added yet.

Thank you

Showing my collection on the World of CDi's facebook page, a member asked me a biggest picture of my Lost Eden box.
He said mine was different from his.

So I searched a little bit and I found mine require DVC and commonly found versions of Lost Eden don't.

Someone should test a version without the digital video mention on a CDi player without DVC to confirm the fact.
It may be just a mistake on early version of Lost Eden that did not mention the DVC requirement.

This title needs a Digital Video Cartridge (DVC).

I own a "Compact Disc Interactive" version (instead of "Digital Video on-CD-i") and here is a picture of what is shown on the main screen when playing without any DVC.

This is a mistake, other titles got the same problem. Once Philips Media found it, they changed the information in the front cover and add DVC requirement in the back.
Independently of having it or not, the game will always need the DVC.

Thank you for the picture DatraPro!

I have two or three CDi titles from the US that don't seem to have anything at all online related to them. I may well have the only copies. One is a 4-disc set about Cosmetic Dentistry narrated by Dr. Ross Nash, D.D.S. The Ebay seller I purchased it from last year happens to be a dentist, as does his wife. They ordered it out of a catalog many years ago. Sure enough, it did indeed play perfectly when I popped it into my DVS VE 200 player. So even though it doesn't say CDi anywhere on the packaging, it is indeed a CDi!

 

The other possibly new CDi is a set of 2 discs put together by the Michigan Judicial Institute in 1998 and 2000 to give users an overview of the Michigan Court system. These might be separate titles and not even the only ones in they made. One is a disc and case and the other is still shrinkwrapped. All I can find online that even remotely relates to these titles is a mention over at AtariAge about somebody owning a CDi player that had a sticker on it indicating that it was once property of the Michigan Supreme Court. These titles flat out say that they are CDi titles right on them, meant to be played on CDi players.
