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.

Othello & Mega Maze catalogue numbers


If you take a closer look at both discs calatogue numbers, you will see they match. But as they are completely different titles, this can’t happen as Philips Media always gave unique numbers for each titles.
But there is more… Othello® and Mega Maze shares the same number twice.

Othello – Testing Phase 1 uses 8100083 (1993/11/26)
Mega Maze final release uses 8100083 (1993/09/13)

Mega Maze – Testing Phase 1 uses 8100163 (1993/03/04)
Othello® final release uses 8100163 (1993/??/??)

We will assume the final release title as the correct catalogue number.

This is not the first time we saw those kind of errors, look here.
Typo from Philips Media? A change of catalogue number in the middle of the way?
That is not a problem as we saw it and defined how to pass through this issue.

Website Improvement


The Word of CD-i as been improved in the right side menu.
Now you can select titles using different filters as:
– By the number of players for Games, Kids and multimedia as Head-to-Head or Alternatively.
– If a Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) is needed or optional.
– By Music or Movies that are Video-CD or Digital Video on CD-i.
– By catalogue number from each country code.

Also, from now on, when you use the search toolbar, beside the result, you will also get the cover or picture of what you are looking for, to help you define quicker what you need.

More changes will com during the year, we hope you will enjoy this website improvement!
