Philips CD-I

Philips CD-Interactive player 450

Philips was one of the few who incorporated new technology promptly. So they came up with the Philips CD-I, one of the earliest consoles to use a CD-ROM and agreed that everyone knows implementing new technology takes a quite a toll on the companies that take the decision to inculcate them in their products. Phils thought to take advantage of this and came with a $1000 console in 1991. A console that wasn’t sure why it was born into this world. In fact, no one knew why it was brought into this world. An entertainment system? A gaming system? A trophy to have your drawing room adorned?

To put it on a pedestal to show that you have much money and not a care for what you buy? A little of all of that but not really any of that either. Just like its games, the console was slow and clunky and the lords of the various realms be merciful if we got the games of the like that this console got. They appeared nasty and poorly done. Nothing striking was there about the console except its price tag. The game didn’t appeal to gamers, nor people seeking entertainment system, nor to garbage man who refused to adorn the garbage dump hill with the CD-I at the top. Good riddance. Uncondonable it was.
