Like many other CD-i titles after 1995, this title struggled with the publishing. It was one of the final CD-i projects by Valkieser (who brought CD-i a lot of titles including the Tim & Bear interactive cartoons). Philips CD-i was such a broad medium offering much more than games and video: Let's have look at the virtual museums that are available on CD-i. These reference disc offer a unique view in high valued museums over the world and they bring the history and culture in your livingroom. These type of discs always have my interest because we can learn so much by it. The top one for me is "Journeys through Victorian London" - A beautifully journey through the expositions of the Museum of London, released in 1998 on CD-i (One of the final CD-i reference discs). This disc was previously covered on Interactive Dreams, but now thanks to CD-i member Seventy777 and again Blazers we have HQ images and video archived!
Victorian London, the most exciting period in London’s history, a period when it became the scientific, cultural and commercial centre of an empire of 400 million people. You can interactively travel through 19th century London and eavesdrop on eminent Victorians describing their city. Victorian London was documented by its inhabitants and visitors in novels, letters, magazines, paintings, engravings and for the first time in history, through photography, film and audio recordings, much of which is to be found in the remarkable collection of the Museum of London and now on disc.
When you count all compatible CD-i discs, including all video-cd's, CD-i bridge titles and CD-i Rainbow formats, there are thousands of discs to collect. Even today, after 20 years of CD-i researching, there are unknown CD-i titles popping up. As the CD-i community discovers so many titles lately, we are passing by all of them in a new series of chronicles on Interactive Dreams: The Rare CD-i Records.
