Even in the ninetees when Philips CD-i was just released, the system was criticized on its low technical specs. Philips always commented that CD-i wasn't meant as a games machine in the first place, but let's not forget that Philips originally planned to release CD-i in the fall of 1987. Due to the lack of trust and unity of other companies like Sony and Matsushita, the release of the CD-i system was postponed, eventually it got on the market in 1990 with its first CD-i titles. Even in 1990 it had a slow start with very low-profile games and informative titles. It was until 1993 when the big titles arrived that started to earn money for Philips, high profile games like The 7th Guest and Mad Dog McCree was a whole lot different than the games we saw at start, like what CapDisc introduced in 1991 with Battle Ship and Connect Four! There are very few titles actually copyrighted 1990, like Time Life Photography, which is the very first commercially released CD-i title.
