Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Dark Jaguar - 20th September 2003

Went to some convention for retro games up to now today. Not much of a convention, in fact just one room, but it was fun nonetheless. Never thought I'd see someone who actually owned a CD-i and all 3 Zelda games for it, but there they were. They gave one of my friends who showed up a poster for Wand of Gamelon, just GAVE. Sure, the games suck and all (and now I know it as a scientific fact :D), but just having them for my collection would have been nice.

On one side of the room was a huge LAN setup. People only bothered playing the games that didn't need the disk though, so no one played Warcraft 3. Also, I couldn't get anyone except one of my friends to join me in a Battlefield game, and that game quickly becomes boring with just two people.

Aside from that, lots of various systems I never thought I'd see. Colecovision, Jaguar, and all manner of Atari systems. Many old NES games for sale in mint condition. Nice little thing to visit, but in the end I didn't see anything I wanted to buy, except stuff the person was only showing off and wasn't for sale (like said CD-i games).

Cool, the CD-i Zelda games... so just how bad ARE they? :)

I suppose they aren't gut-wrenchingly horrible. Think Zelda 2 if the physics for jumping and attacking were way off, plus that's all you could do and not very many items except stuff you had to fetch (from what I've seen). Plus, not much fun doing the actual attacking. All three games play pretty much the same, even the one where you are Zelda (I thought I remembered seeing some old pic of it with an overhead view, but it seems that's not the case).

They've been deemed as cruel and unusual punishment in several states, if that is any indication of how bad it is.

But, seriously, I would kill someone in front of their own momma to get a CD-I and the three Zelda games and if anyone testifies against me I'll gouge their eye out!!

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - A Black Falcon - 20th September 2003

Yeah, if I could I'd get a CD-i just for those games too... :)

If I ever find a CD-I I'll get it, but so far I've never found one.

Given how completely unsuccessful the console is, that's hardly surprising...

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Darunia - 20th September 2003

Their badness is infamous almongst the console industry... but I would be happy to just see some screen shots of these games in action. I can't imagine that they're as bad as you all say, or as bad as they're wrapped to be.

I'd kill to see some shots of them in action...(wink wink, nudge nudge)

Oh yeah? Well, Dracula called last night and he says he's coming to get you and I said okay!

Those Zelda CD-I games are testaments to how far humanity has come in recent years. But man---they're so corny, that they beckon to be played. Just like really bad cartoons from your childhood.

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Great Rumbler - 11th October 2004

I'd really like to play those Zelda CD-i games just to see how bad they really are...and then I'll put them away and never touch them again.

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - A Black Falcon - 11th October 2004

I don't know, it looks pretty bad... but if I had a CD-i I'd have to get them. :D

What the hell are you talking about?

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Great Rumbler - 12th October 2004

Yeah, this thread hasn't referenced either of those series...yet.

Yes it did. In the title.

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Great Rumbler - 12th October 2004

Really?

Well that was fun, now for eons of loneliness... - Dark Jaguar - 12th October 2004

What really? Yeesh man, I thought it was so obvious it didn't need explaninating.

Bender said it! He said it shortly after "all alone and barely any swag", or something like that.

Oh, well who the hell knew that he was referring to the title? I resurrected this ancient thread so I assumed that he was talking about my post. Which was the resurrectifierocitator.

Haha, I didn't even know this thread was from last September. Sorry for the outburst.

But still...the Family Guy and Futurama quotes. It's gotta stop.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with referencing Family Guy and Futurama and I'll go on a hunger strike until people realize that!
