The CD-i, despite the best efforts of both its marketers and its developers, just wasn’t meant to be a games machine. It could play FMV and CD audio, certainly, and perhaps if Phillips had played to those strengths, the machine’s fortunes might have turned out differently. It would have made a fine alternative to a laserdisc player, and perhaps, if history had taken a different route, could have beaten DVD players to the punch. Time and time again, however, game creators used its underpowered hardware in a noble, if somewhat futile effort to compete with the more popular systems of its day. The Mystic Midway titles are two titles that managed to escape the confines of the CD-I, for whatever reason.
