A different look on the Zelda CD-i games
Hey guys,
Usually I don't promote my video's just like this, but in this case I'll make an exceptiong. I think many of you will agree here when I say that the Zelda games by Animation Magic get more negative coverage lately then they really deserve.
Well, I do review CD-i games, and this time I decided to take a look at the Zelda platsformer games on CD-i. Like always I try to bring over my objective opinion, and I personally don't find the games nearly as bad as people generally make them out to be. Hope you enjoy the video and please let me know what you think. I'm always interested to hear other opinions!

Check out my YouTube channel for some CD-i reviews!
I finally got round to playing one of them today after buying Wand Of Gamelon and Faces Of Evil a couple of weeks back.
After playing the latter one earlier on I was pleasently surprised. I was expecting total crap after everthing I had heard but actually thought the game was quite good, I am not a fan of RPG's anyway and prefer this style of game.
If you want crap then go play Thunder In Paradise . . . .

Systems I own: Atari 2600, 7800, Lynx, Jaguar, 520 STfm, Jaguar CD, 800XL, Sega Megadrive, Saturn, Nintendo Gameboy, Sony Playstation, Sinclair ZX81, ZX Spectrum, 128k +2a and of course a Philips CD-i
there are much, much worse games than that. TiP is actually one of the better games on CD-i. you, like most people, probably don't like FMV games though. in which case CD-i isn't really a system suited for you as it's major strength is full motion video - does it better than any other systemThe Laird wrote:If you want crap then go play Thunder In Paradise . . . .

I just posted this in another spot accidently, didnt see this article first. Was just reading up on the CD-i Zelda, and came across this review -
Thought it was funny, though I actually don´t mind the games myself, in comparison to the others certainly there is none..but there´s nothing wrong with a bit of a retro game! My friend has just started a bloghere too if anyone wants.The "trilogy" is a large departure from the rest of the series, and they are generally considered poor efforts by fans and reviewers alike. Nintendo has erased them from the Zelda canon, evidenced by their absence from any of Nintendo's websites and publications. The character designs and personalities used in the games appear to be based heavily on the cartoon series.
