Me and my brother 13 years ago got in the 6th castle and than the last level. IT WAS FREAKING HARD, seriously... it took us 100 times and still didn't make it. It is a pretty big game, but there are doors where u skip levels, which was cool that time to figure it out. I really liked the game back than though. Zelda, mario and link were the best games on the cdi on our viewpoint, not zelda's adventure, because that game was just creepy and we didn't get it(didn't come far), haha. Good old times:P
I like you how you review retro game and consoles that weren't imported to the u.s and games that werrent advertise as the rest keep up the good work :)
i acctually liked this game. if the animation was better and the programming was better i would have bought a cdi and this game for myself. i have played it
A game that involves closing doors. Sounds like this Famicom game, "Door Door", where the objective was the same, but it didn't suck as much as this...
The game itself seems rather pointless. But John, your comments of agony on how the difficulty of the game is laced with its simplistic nature,,,had me ROFLing XD
I like this game. It would probably be considered a minor classic if they didn't shoehorn mario characters into it and try to sell it as a mario game when it was nothing like one.
I think people are just too hard on this and the Zelda games. The biggest problem with these games is the control. If that issue was ironed out, especially in the Zelda games, they could be under rated classics.
Hmm, I don't think this review was very fair; first off, falling off the hotel is not that big of an issue; second, the elevators aren't nearly that confusing, jumping through the floor has been in just about every mario game, the animation isn't THAT bad, enemies opening the doors adds challenge and DOES make sense, and this really isn't that bad, I just don't think you went in with a very open mind. I played the game (and beat it) and found it to be decent, and most certainly unique.
Yeah. The games were prety bad, The graphics were also bad (not that ive played a CD-I, iv just seen other videos of CD-I games). What games did you have, and which of them was the best game?
7th Guest is a puzzle solving mystery game that used live action video. The game play is kind of like Myst. I did do a gameplay video if you want to check it out.
it looks like one of those games that came out in 2000 and only 3-6 year olds like it.And it just is poorly made,crappy,suckish or it just sux.but yer awesome Gamester81
Hate to break it to you bud, but we did. I played "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" on it during a sort of summer school thing. Besides, Philips being a European company, I'd be surprised if we DIDN'T get it here.
this game was not meant to be a sequal to mario world they were actually making another one for cdi called super marios wacky worlds but it never pulled through.
There were several versions of the CDi that were released. I own the 490 model, and I paid around $150 with about 10 games included. The controllers are actually pretty shitty, and were not responsive at all. I'll do a review over this system soon to show everyone.
From my understanding Phillips and Nintendo had an agreement to create Nintendo licensed games. Nintendo ended up ending the agreement to work with Phillips, but Phillips retained the licensed for the games anyway. This particular game is not based on the show (though looks very similar), bur rather was intended to be a new Mario game entirely.
Mario sounds like a smoker, a stoner and a pedo all mixed into one
