CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Having recently completed Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil, I was wondering who has actually played the Philips CD-i Zelda games. What did you think of them?

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

I doubt there are words that can describe my hatred of these... "games".
The third, Zelda's Adventure, was the only one I was able to endure.

Of course, I, being the insane Zelda fan I am, thought it only right that I should
own these games, they are after all Zelda, and surely they couldn't be as bad
as everyone said they were.
Could I have been more mistaken...
If I had not spent so much money on them, I would have incinerated them by now.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

I've heard of them, but I've never played them. Are the games really that bad?

This article should give you an idea of the quality of Faces of Evil. I haven't played any of the CDi-games though.

Never played them, and I´m not very eager to try any of them.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Yup played them, and well what can i say. They looked good for the time (in places) as they had video captured people in and some of the textures/graphics looked nice but the gameplay was pretty shocking.

I've heard of them. I don't think I want to try them, reading the reviews and stuff.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Nope...I've never played them, but I have heard of them. Judging from all the bad feedback I've heard of these games...I don't think I'll ever play them. ^^;

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Are the CD-i games really that bad? Is it the sounds, storyline, difficulty, graphics, or everything that is bad. Are there any avaliable video clips/graphics or other media on the internet fully-indepth with these games? And also, I've heard of them, but I have never played one of them, judging from my post.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

The Zelda's Adventure had the best gameplay out of the 3, but the gameplay was very stupid. And yes, i've played all three of them.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Call me crazy, but I absolutely would love to try them all. Call me a glutton for punishment, but it's more for the humerous value than anything..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........................ ..........

That's what I thought. And there is no humor, unless its the kind that makes
you vomit (as there's plenty of that).

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

Never played them, but I know that they completely lack the ingredients of a good game. Even the soundtracks are bad.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

played the two first once personly there are worse games out there. The games playing with a cdi-controller was a pain.

Re: CD-i Zelda - have you played them?

To answer your question, No, there's no roms of these games, they do have ISO images of the games but you would need a CDI console and a CD Burner to use them, I don't think you can play CDI on your PC, and Don't even bother, the games aren't worth it.
