How fun in this mode? I've got a splitter coming to me and (maybe) a copy of this compilation. I've got multiple versions of the games already, but its 2 player co-op Ms. Pacman that has me excited (plus its one of only a hnadful of true 2 player games for CD-i if I'm not mistaken)
So, any thoughts? Is it good fun, or dissapointing? How does the CD-i port compare w/others?
Arcade classics 2 player Ms. Pacman

I did show some footage of it in my video, while talking about. It's about 7:04 minutes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xupDxPnTGMk
I'm not actually sure how I finally got it to work though. Sometimes those back ports work and you don't need a splitter, and on other systems they don't work. Drives me nuts! I'm pretty sure I didn't have a splitter at the time.
Anyway, as I explain it there, the co-op mode is kind of fun. But the CD-i couldn't handle zooming out I think, at least they didn't add that. So the camera keeps focus on player one, and the second player can 'drop off' the screen, which is really annoying when there are ghosts around there! It would have been so much better if they would have either made a smaller maze that fits on one screen, or zoomed the whole thing out so that the maze fits on one screen.

Check out my YouTube channel for some CD-i reviews!
Hey thanks, not sure how I missed that one ...
Btw, I really like your video reviews! I've been watching quite a few of them since I finally got a working cd-i player again. Your "lets play" vids are great too. I've gotten stuck in Zelda Wand of Gamelon, so I''ve been checking them out to see where I messed up.
