Even professional CD-i titles sometimes try to include game elements, like Zeneca's Quaeritur III, combining a quiz with music (but still about pharma)

Quaeritur Quest a Medical Interactive Program designed to test both your knowledge of respiratory medicine and general knowledge. It is in fact a professional CD-i probably used in kiosk systems that allowed people to act interactive with the medical knowledge, learning them in a entertaining way what they offer in the field of their Asthma therapy. The music is available on any audio player: ”Spain. A Travellers Companion”. This disc was published in 1995.
  • Thoughts of Andalucia
  • Spirit of Barcelona
  • Señorita
  • Fiesta, Fiesta
  • Sol y Sombra”Classical Spanish Guitar”
  • El Noi de la Mare
  • Habanera
  • Viva FlamencoTotal of 18 minutes and 42 seconds of music
 This is a CD-i Ready disc. It will play on your CD-i player and on any Audio CD player as well. Requires DVC, but it doesn’t say so. When booted without DVC the screen remains black. This disc seems to be a disc that was given away (before the game starts one can choose to play audio to give free copies of the disc or not). It can be played with any remote, the mouse and trackball.
There is a hall of fame, but also a Competition Code. When selecting this option you have to select which CD-i player you use (A-G).

Zeneca made more discs on CD-i, like this one:


For those long enough around the CD-i web will remember the name Zeneca. It was once featured at the site 'The World of CD-i' with an interesting video. The video showed the content of the Zeneca Pharma CD-i, which was sort of a medical guide to all products Zeneca offered. The interesting part in my view was the use of Digital Video on the background while showing thumbnails and menus on the screen. The content was technically impressive on CD-i, although it was ' just' a professional title.
