Rare Video CD Records #3: "The Ultimate Video Jukebox - Volume One" (Omnimedia, Diamond Time Ltd, 1995)


This CD-i bridge disc is actually a Video CD when played on a CD-i player but it offers more options when you play it on your PC. This includes a trivia quiz and also online media: When you connect the disc to the Internet (this was only possible on PC) you could learn more of the current news at Omnimedia (the publisher) and about the disc contents. This is pretty neat for a 1995 title. CD-Online was not ready yet but the name Omnimedia was mentioned more in some of our email conversations with CD-i developers, which indicate these online processess might have something to do with each other. A CD-i Online version was never released, but the potential started around these years first on the PC connection. The fact they were able to release discs that would run both on CD-i as CD-ROM, gave it a true wide audience. It shows 'volume one', but we are not aware of other volumes!
