cd-i zelda games

[herbietool]

just wondering if anyone has played or knows just how bad these games actually are.

[pjalne]

Played one for five minutes once. I don't remember much, but it was pretty bad. The entire system was doomed from the beginning. My dad borrowed one home from work when I was a kid, and the only game we bothered to play on it was Battleship due to the terrible controls. You couldn't really play a game more advanced than Pacman on it or manouvering would be impossible.

[herbietool]

Thanks for the info. I guess I can stop looking for them now.

[pjalne]

Well, they would be cool to have. There's a couple on ebay:

I've seen a few of them on there from time to time, but I just can't bring myself to buy them if they're that unplayable.

[adeptninja]

Weren't the controls just a VCR remote with a joystick protruding from it?

you can download a bunch of videos at http://www.zhq2.com/videos.htm which feature gameplay footage of all three cd-i zelda games, thank god nintendo reversed the effect with OOT

After watching these movies, it seems as though you would need to be heavily medicated in order to enjoy the gameplay.

Whoever drew this game has a serious problem with eyelids.

Yeah. In fact, if you've played any of those games Disney includes on their DVDs, that's pretty much how most CD-i games played. The Zelda ones are actually pretty sophisticated compared to the average title.

If you watch the Wand of Gamelot one with the sound off, it looks like they're talking in sign language.
