Around the summer of 95 I was a very chubby kid sleeping all day and staying up all night and one night an informercial for the CDI came on,it
looked cool with the FMV capabilitys as well as other things that I thought were like 10 years ahead of their time lol,and I wanted one so badley,but with the price tag of like 300 or 400 dollars{wasnt sure on the exact price but it was high} I knew my dad would never buy it for me.I was disapointed but I hope someday I could get it.fast forward to 1998,I was the new kid in town,I had no friends and I spent my time after school plotting on ways to play the rare video game systems I didnt get to play as a child since my life sucked,well I got my hands on the Jaguar,Sega CD,3D0 but no CDI,and I stayed up one night tihnking how cool it would be to have one{pretty said I know } but in 2002 I started looking on for CDI and they were still high as hell IMO,100 dollar and higher,well one aution came along and I almost one it but lost by like 50 cents.after reading reviews online about it,it seems like a glorified Sega CD full of crappy games.I still would like to play it one day but its hard to find,anybody played it and what were your impressions of it?

Anyone else had an unhealthy obession with a gameing system ,i had one with the White Japaneese Sega Saturn for a while but not as bad as the CDI

I liked one game on the CDI, and I have no idea what it was called. You played a guy who was on different planets, maybe? And you collected items/weapons. Maybe the guy was blond?

I really wanted a Saturn (for Virtua Fighter 2) and 3DO (for Super Street Fighter II Turbo) when they were first out, but had no chance of getting them at their retail prices. Once I moved on to bigger and better things like dreamcast, PS2 and Xbox, I stopped caring for the obscure consoles from the previous generation.
