DO NOT WANT. Sorry dude, just saying. Those games are a travesty. They're down right scandolous. But hey, if that's your thing then enjoy. As for me, I'll stick with the real thing.
Have you played them? ;)
Nope, and don't have the time to track them down, nor the time to play them. The wife hogs the TV with Halo 3 and Gears of War.
I agree, you really can't put a judgement on a game solely on the cinematics and the small snippets of gameplay put on Youtube. I actually know someone with a CD-I in the neighbourhood, no zelda though. :(
Maybe we should get a VC release so we don't have to track down a CD-I and the games. =p That is true, I haven't played the games and probably should.
I'd like to give them a shot.
I was actually thinking about these going to virtual console.
I've got a working CD-I + one of those ZELDA-games (the faces of evil) and I can tell you those cinematics are the only thing that is even remotely not vomit-inducing... levels are shoddy at best, controls feel like you're playing Dragon's Lair even though you're not :p
and the enemies are, well, just WRONG... some of them look like they're some kind of dinosaurs...
if you want you can come give them a try, I'll be sitting next to you playing something else though...
seriously the CD-I was a sorry excuse for a console... the most fun i had on that thing was while browsing the encyclopedia that was given with it freely because no other application had better controls...
I went through a LOT of trouble to get me a CD-I-machine because I remember being really young and seeing it on a fair and being totally mesmerized by its possibilities but MAN was that a disappointment when I finally got it a year or 3 ago... it's logic that it failed and completely justified, this contraption never should've seen the light of day... if it was a kid, the doctor should've tucked it back in upon delivery :-)
I think a problem with a suggestion that he makes at the end is telling people to basically not think of them as actual Zelda games; just as side-scrolling adventure games from the 90s that just happen to have a guy with a sword, shield, and green tunic. That's just too much of a stretch for a lot of people.
