If you are from France you might remember the popular videogames program on television called 'Micro Kids'. On Youtube you can find various episodes. In some of them, also CD-i games are featured. CD-i member Candela looked into which episodes contain some interesting CD-i material, some of which are not yet avilable online... Candela: "I found some old VHS recordings I made in the 90s of a french TV Show about video games called Micro Kid's. I managed to identify some episodes using abandonware-videos.org where also some other episodes are for download. Someone has uploaded these to Youtube as well.

The most interesting ones with CD-i sections I couldn't identify and are probably not yet available

  • microkids_1992-xx-xx_episode_unknown_1: interview with Jean-Claude Larue, Directeur Général "Philips Interactive Media Systems"
  • microkids_1992-xx-xx_episode_unknown_2: section about Escape from Cybercity
  • microkidsmultimedia_1994-12-xx_episode_unknown_1: interview with Didier Balik, Directeur de production "Philips Interactive Média France" about Dictionaire Hachette

Some of the other episodes on Youtube also show CD-i games"

 

On Youtube at least you can find the following CD-i being featured in Micro Kid's: International Tennis Open, The 7th Guest, Microcosm, Asterix: Caesar's Challenge, Chaos Control, Flashback, Rise of the Robots, Secret Mission. Obviously quite some CD-i games made by Infogrames (=also French). From what we could find, Secret Mission was the final CD-i game which was featured on Micro Kid's; International Tennis Open probably the first one. (The shows available ran from 1991-1996)

[Thanks, Candela]
