Preservation Loan #007

Another fine batch of CD-i titles finds its way temporarily into my clutches via Blazers, the other half of the CD-i preservation godhead.

 


Among the batch is the cool baby smoking the cigarette (the baby is waaay cooler than you'll ever be, admit it), SOLAR CRUSADE the super expensive late game release in the CDi catalog, a fistful of other Euro exclusive games - Wimbledon Challenge, Whack A Bubble, Magic Eraser, No Problem All The Fun Of the Fair, Tetsou Gaiden, as well as a handful of jewelcase editions of USA titles that were also released on longbox (as part of a research experiment to find USA software revisions), Alice In Wonderland (just another game title we needed to cross off the USA games miss list), and the retail version of CD-i-branded VCD release "Wings Over the Gulf" (which we've confirmed matches the white label demonstration disc release).

This batch touches on a few of the milestones we should be coming up to in the next few months:

  1. Finishing dumping Euro exclusive game titles!
  2. Finishing dumping USA games!
  3. Deep research on USA Longbox vs USA Jewelcase revision hunting!
As a result, I see this batch as Part #1 of a targeted mission to specifically accomplish these HUGE preservation milestone/goals.
