The CD-i has the best collection of FMV games such as Dragon's Lair 1&2, Space Ace, the 7th guest, Brain Dead 13, etc. IDK why, but I have a weird nostalgia for those games. The gameplay is generally terrible, but it was a very strange and unique style of video games that was very specific to its era. I know Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were released in arcades in the early-mid 80's, but it was the mid 90's when this genre become ubiquitous on home consoles. It's not so much the gameplay I enjoy, but the fantastic art of Dragon's Lair and Brain Dead 13, and especially the super cheesy sets, costumes, special effects and acting in the live action FMV games. Those are some of my favorites - Ground Zero Texas, Night Trap, Sewer Shark, Space Pirates. The 3DO also had a good selection of FMV games, but any games shared between the 3DO and CD-i apparently ran better on CD-i. If someone could figure out better gameplay for FMV games I would love to see them make a comeback, as long as they kept the super cheese factor of the live action games.
