  You’re better off watching videos. The gamea are all notoriously bad.

  An emulator also isn’t going to give you the experience of dropped inputs that the CDI was known for.

  You probably don’t, there is not a single good game on there!

  So yeah, Philips was granted usage of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Link, Zelda, Impa, and Ganon. One Mario game and two Zelda games were made, and they were so bad they were funny, to the point they were basically the backbone of Internet culture when several people made silly nonsensical remixes of the cutscenes.

  Those games were in fact so important to many people’s lives that a spiritual successor, Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, was a success and even had a limited edition that came with the infamous CD-i “spoon” controller. What an amazing way to play a platformer…

  There is also one more Zelda game that is forgotten by just about everyone. As the others were so bad they were funny, this one was so bad it was just bad. Try watching this without getting bored (impossible) youtu.be/IqFZ1iVmhIo?si=Aqy6kr2mKySWMw4H

    Honestly that Zelda game is my favorite for how absolutely ugly it is. I can’t make heads or tails of what’s going on in it.

      What were those devs thinking? No textboxes so deaf people can’t play, there’s one dungeon whose boss cannot be defeated with the weapon found in it (the weapon does NO DAMAGE lmao) and the ending is so bad the whole thing is just BAD
