We have never seen footage of Raim Raid this sharp, this one looks pixel perfect, wow! We hope one day to be able to play this again. Atlantis was the codename and eventually commercial title for this very
unique CD-i game first announced by the President of Philips Media
Games, Dave McElhatten in Issue 16 of the UK based CDi Magazine in
February 1996. The Atlantis project was described as a realtime 3D
engine, it was the byproduct of some powerful debugging software
developed by Philips Redhill.
After a year of refinement prior to the
announcement, this unforeseen use for the CD-i architecture was
exploited with the release of Ram Raid, a working on-line game
demonstrating the engine in action. Ram Raid was bundled with the second
CD-online disc attached as a covermount to the UK based CDi Magazine
Issue 17 in April 1996. It wasn't until the following year that the full
commercial game "Atlantis - The Last Resort" was released, it sadly
lacked any of the on-line functionality that the initial demo Ram Raid
had hinted at.
