Title: WTF? another CD-i find this time w/ Hotel Mario Post by: den68 on May 28, 2005, 08:59:41 PM I found 8 CD-i games today, all complete for $2.95 each.
Hotel Mario International Tennis Tour PInball Sticky Bear Math Sticky Bear Reading The Emperors New Clothes Richard Scarry's Busiest Neighborhood Disk Ever Berenstain Bear's On Their Own the last 5 on this list are not in the database. I'm guessing it's because they are not games but there are several non-games on the list. Thunder in Paradise comes to mind. Should they be added? Also, I noticed a game on the list called, "The Dame Was Loaded". I got this one today too though on closer inspection it was a Philips PC CD-rom game not CD-i. I gather by it's inclusion in the database that there IS a CD-i version. Or did someone else that the same mistake as I? back to Hotel Mario for a moment. this is really a good game. I played it for about an hour and a half tonight. I just wish I had a better controller for my CD-i, the one I have is more like a TV remote. Anyway the game has decent graphics, it looks like an SNES game. The animated cut scenes are lame and very pixelated but you can skip over these. There is a story but who cares. The game consists of a screen with 5 or so levels that you travel between via elevators. Each level also has several open doors. The object is to move up and down the levels to close all the doors while avoiding the enemies. If you just avoid them they keep opening the doors so it's best to eliminate them. As it's a Mario game you also have to pick up coins and there are mushrooms that give powerups. Easily the best CD-i game I've ever played. I know that's not saying much but it is damn good.

Most important of all, I'd like to say congrats on the find. Those were all at a great price in my opinion, and Hotel Mario is a steal for under $3. I am jealous.
