Favourite cover-art for CD-i titles?

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.

Hi. Just curious what everyones favourite cover-art for CD-i releases are (not just games).

Mine are:

As much as I like the cover-art of "Flashback", I can't figure out how to play this game

Image
I like the back-cover even more!

Just a shame "Video Speedway" is one of the worst games ever made.

Anyone else here have some favourites? I assure you that the stains on the carpet are purely G-rated.

Don't look at me for any help just yet, I'm still new to this thing!!

I do wish I could find some shows or films that feature a CD-i as a prop in the background, but for which the show or film isn't well known enough for someone to really notice. I was once watching some old episodes of a 1990s "teen sitcom", and saw a Mattel Aquarius used a prop (why 1990s teens would be using one, I don't know. Retro didn't become in until a few years later. But they were visiting a University and maybe some students there considered using one as "post-modern". Also why did they use sound from a 2600 game?), and some Sega Saturn games appeared in the background in some episodes set at a mall with a "media store".

First to jump into my mind is the cover of Labyrinth of Crete:
