The '''Compact Disc InteractiveCD-I''' ('''CD-iCompact Disc Interactive'''), is an interactive multimedia CD player and a disk format developed and released by [[wikipedia:Philips|Philips]] in 1988. The first player aimed for home market was released on December 3, 1991. It  The Main system ran on Microware [[wikipedia:OS-9|OS-9]] and had a Philips SCC68070 CPU at 15.5 MHz with 1MB of RAM. NotablyThe CD-I was never meant to be a video game console, it was designed to be a "Interactive Multimedia" CD player, an expensive toy that people with money don't mine buying, using it featured intellectual properties from a few times and forgetting they even bought it when something new catches their attention. When the system started to show signs of being a major flop for Philips, they pivoted the direction of the CD-I into the uncharted territories of video games. CD-I is mainly known nowadays for having games based on Nintendo[[wikipedia:Intellectual property|IP]], such as Mario and Zelda, due to previously having tried to develop a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES]]. Their takes on Nintendo intellectual property were so infamously terrible that you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think of them when you mention the CD-i. However, there were a few cult classic games for the system.
