Just wondering if someone has any information on this game. Apparently it was in development for CD-i way back, even before cd-i was released. And then it was switched over to CDTV.. too bad, it looked interesting. Marty Foulger, designer of SMWW (Super Mario's Wacky Worlds on CD-i) worked on it. It was released by Tiger Media, Los Angeles on CDTV, FM Towns and PC in 1991. I do remember this title from way back then, since it was supposed to be released on CD-i. I wonder how far development for CD-i came?!
The Case of the Cautious Condor is an adventure game in an interactive comic book style developed by Tiger Media, Inc.. It was one of the first CD-i games that was furthermore a complete new development for that media. The game was first released for FM Towns in Japan in 1989, later also for CDTV (1991) and MS-DOS (1992). It won several awards, such as "Best Adventure 1989" in Japan.
Basically it is a detective adventure game in which with your help, private eye Ned Peters has to figure out the identity of the murderer by wandering around the rooms, looking for clues and overhear conversations between the other guests aboard the Spruce Goose-like flying boat "Condor" on a cruise over the Atlantic. The game has no text because all the dialogue is being played from the CD and the interface is completely mouse-driven. Unfortunately this title never made it on CD-i...
