Very interested in Inca...

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

I've only seen footage of the DOS version, but this looks like one of the most unique shooters I've ever seen! How does it play on the CD-i??

Haven't played it yet, but here is a great review from Bas ...

The "Back to the Future" idea was also used in another Coktel Vision game, Lost in Time.

Thanks for the link! It certainly looks beautiful, IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRWYPCWpPmw

I have it and tried it for the first time last week. It's neat initially, but I can't really figure out what to do in the immediate shooting/flying section.. :shock:

Gotta hand it to Coktel Vision ... they made some interesting games.

Slightly off topic, but regarding this which I copied from the blog of Bas ...
Alan posted a while ago (actually, 1,5 years already) about the classic game 'Gobliiins' appearing on the French cd-i discs 'ADI CM1' and ADI CE1'. 7 levels are available on each disc. The first level is available straight away, but you need to unlock later levels by studying! Alan confirms that to unlock later levels, you need to gain 20 points, which doesn't take too long at all. As long as you know your French!!
[Thanks, Alan]
Did the Goblin games that Coktel Vision made see release in other regions on CD-i in full form, or was this it?

Trev, the Gobliiins cd-i game only features on those 2 French cd-i discs.

Ok, thanks. Too bad they didn't get a release of their own.
