    Effacer has got to be the weirdest educational game ever made. I'm trying to imagine the parents who want this for their kids, a game where you execute criminals in a far future alien world made of living language, as if David Lynch went straight from improving Dune to making Mortal Kombat for PBS.

      It wasn't really sold as a console, it was more like a proto-DVD player, so maybe the first customers didn't mind that the games weren't so great.

    29:50 I noticed that ""Eroom Mij" is Jim Moore spelled backwards, so googled that name along with CapDisc. Sure enough, I found the LinkedIn profile. He was the technical Manager from 1994-1998. Found your easter egg, Jimothy/Jimjamin.

    My family spent Christmas 93 in the Bahamas. On the TV in our room was an infomercial channel and they kept playing an infomercial for the CD-I. They promised voice control which I don't know if that made it into the final product.

    People are constantly asking &hassling you about your audio/video setup. Tell em to fuck off - don't change anything about your presentation. It's old school just like (most of) the games you play and I think most of us like it that way!

  • @mtgAzim
    @mtgAzim 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Mike, you should set subscription goals for youtube or patreon or whatever, and play one of the zelda cdi games through when you reach it. It would be a great way to boost subs on something. You know that after all the demand for so many years that it'll get a lot of views, it almost seems like a wasted opportunity if you don't do something like a sub goal with it. Also, when you're playing valheim, you often don't draw the bow fully before releasing, aka letting the reticle fully close. I may be wrong, but it seems like you don't do nearly the damage you get from a full shot. Anyway, hope you're well! ^_^

    • @mikematei

I believe it is a couple gears that need the grease. It has been so long since we did it but damn it worked well. They have a video on TH-cam to show the spots.

    Been seeing a lot of the CDI recently. Bob from RetroRGB did a stream recently with Wrestle with Gaming. Was a ton of fun, I reccomend the YT vid. WWG is into the CDI, it apparently does have a couple good games - that "controller" is insane tho. Especially the infrared ones lol. But the hardware regular ones and the mods that can be done help. Doesnt look bad when RGB modded and stuff (or through SCART native depending i guess? I think it uses a THS7374 for the amp/mod like most)

    The industry was trying so hard to push this shit and we weren't getting suckered, sort of like how the industry was pushing 3D TVs hardcore 10 years ago and it failed.
