In Retro Gamer magazine #96 there was a reprint of an article about PF Magic, the company who brought 3rd Degree and Max Magic to CD-i. Owner Rob Fulop also developed Night Trap (for CD-i in 1987!) but it was dusted down and released for the Sega Mega CD in 1992 and in 1993 ported to 3DO and other platforms. Night Trap was interesting because it never made it to CD-i. It was the very first FMV interactive movie, starring real actors, but development of CD-i took too long (launched in 1992), the Night Trap game was perhaps ahead of its time. It reminds me to similar reasons for Electronic Arts to stop CD-i developments around 1989 as well!
If you're familiar with Interactive Dreams, you know that we have a weak spot for developer profiles like this. PF Magic stands for'Pure Fucking Magic'- I never knew about that :) - There's no mentioning of Jack Sprite either but it gives away nice details about their choice to develop for CD-i and why that in the end didn't work out. The studio was previously known as 'Interactive Productions' (it was at least also owned by Rob Fulop). "Jack Sprite" code named "Project Flix" ceased development in the early 1990's due to concerns from PF Magic about the shift of games from 2D to 3D with PlayStation and Saturn becoming the popular gaming platforms. So they decided to shift their interest to "Ballz" another title under development instead of finishing this CD-i project. After remaining untouched for 9 years OlderGames.com published this game at Classic Gaming EXPO held in Las Vegas on 10th - 11th August 2002.
After PF Magic turned away from CD-i and 3DO, they had their biggest success with the Dogz and Catz virtual pet games. When PF Magic was sold to Mindscape in 1998, the right of Dogz and Catz ended up with Ubisoft and made new games of this franchise until 2014!
