This time I'm taking a look at the pretty populair game Micro Machines, only this version is for the CD-i!

Was there any system spared from this game? Oh well let's see how this version holds up!

nice review seb. i have this game on the genesis (or megadrive).

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Frankkaiba Thanks! The MD port of Micro Machines is also a great one, way more playable than on the CD-i, that's for sure!

Any news about the music at 7:55 ? :p

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Palounay The only way to capture this music is to play the game and record it via line-in. That takes quite some time. Grabbing the audio files from the disk itself is no good, for some reason you end up with fragmented tracks.

[Palounay]

@HalfBlindGamer Yeah i tried to take the audio file but it's in .grn format and I can't convert it.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Palounay Yes, getting wav files out of CD-i discs is a bit of a tricky process, and even then it won't work well with every game. Unfortunatly, this is one such game :(

Very well Done. I really enjoyed this vdeo

Aw man, I had to play the new version of Micro Machines for PSP when I was working at Sony a couple years ago. Crappy racer.

Micro Machines where actually really popular in the UK, a lot of people collected them.

@HalfBlindGamer Alright, thanks! I'll have to play this with someone, have them use the remote, then sit in front of the CD-I's infrared detector ;D I love cheating!

Thanks, man!

[HalfBlindGamer]

@smartlamppost You know, I've never tried that I think. I'm pretty sure it does work with one player on a joypad and the other on a remote though.
