My Mom was an artist for a small game developer in Bermuda (of all places...) In the 90s.

Not only did they have one of these in the office, which I would spend a lot of time at after school, but she had one at home as well. So I spent a formidable part of my childhood trying to learn CD-I games.

The two we had at home (I do not know their names and I've tried looking them up) were:

Photorealistic Ultraviolent Cyberpunk... It was like an FPS and Point and Click adventure at the same time. Lawnmower Man vibes.

Japanese Feudal Defence Simulator... Another FPS where you would defend a castle from waves of approaching samurai with a Bow.

The controller was a wackadoodle Trackball design and honestly a pain in the ass to use, but superior to my NES which I had (as my only comparison).

We never bought more games as... Well... They weren't sold on the island.

Edit: I've also played the Zelda game at the office, but honestly it was like they tried to make a Mario game using Zelda, and as stated below: it was awful.

Burn Cycle! Thank you!

I've never really tried searching for the game names. This thread has been great!

Maybe I should set up an emulator and get some nostalgia flowing.
