Dictionnaire Hachette Multimedia was one of the biggest releases in France published by Philips and licensed by Hachette Multimedia. Hachette also released a version itself, and this was also released in a big box CD-ROM style box, exclusively in France. It is such a pity the encyclopedias and dictionaires on CD-i were often local affairs, as each and every version is highly interesting and technically very impressive. It was also a EU funded project, and as with several encyclopedias, Philips releases a 'Digital Video' version a few years after the original release. Philips CD-i was a unique platform that did not only offered games, but also heavily invested in movies and reference titles like encyclopedias (which was at the time, pre-internet, pretty unique to be able to buy and play this on your television.
