Were any cd-i games widescreen or 480p?
I was just wondering if indeed any games were wide screen. Because I do know that wide screen games were available around the time. On the PSX and on the Saturn. Even the Sega 32X had 1 widescreen game.
So I was wondering what the situation was for the Cd-i

Not to disappoint anyone, but...
On CD-i, "wide screen" means "able to drive the 16x9 signal on the SCART (euroconnector) output". This signal causes widescreen TV's to switch into 16x9 display mode, stretching the incoming 4x3 signal horizontally so that it fills the entire screen.
The actual video signal never changes, it remains 768x560 interlaced (PAL); due to restrictions on color resolution and vertical filtering this is really just 384x280 with some resolution enhancement in horizontal and vertical direction.
