A new batch has arrived from the gentleman Blazers. This batch is a little different from the rare-title-wowsers! in the past. While the CD-i preservation community has done a hell of a job dumping super rare discs lately, we wanted to go back to the basics for this batch and dump some of the missing fundamentals from the US region.
A perfectly boring batch, and that's a good thing...
- Game verifies - we're verifying US retail editions against Demonstration Discs here largely. Yep they match - now for the mods to log it in redump...
- Edutainment - edutainment titles released for the CD-i by-and-large are little kids games + multimedia. For this reason, they're the next-most-relevant category to the CD-i gamers' interest. A large amount of this category were undumped in redump before this batch arrived. You'll also notice two the two versions of How The Camel Got His Hump and How the Rhino Got His Skin! Originally released in English, they were re-issued with English / Spanish dual languages. Camel got a slight disc art update as you see above!
- Revisions - Two notable mentions:
- Zombie Dinos jewelcase variant has been confirmed to be a newly discovered build! This is one reason Blazers & I have been comparing Longbox variants & jewelcases for the US CD-i releases - to discover revisions!
- Let's Go Skiing! - this REV 0 version was discovered in the TOSEC set, but missing from Redump. Luckily Blazers has the missing version!
This batch of dumps should be added to redump, we're seeing great progress in shrinking the US Miss list.
Thanks again to Blazers for this loan!
