Fuck yeah, we got a CD-i equivalent to those really strange early 90s FMV party games on 3DO that I enjoy a bit too much! This shit is up there with like toejam and earl 1 in terms of aesthetic presentation dude, it's got that nickelodeon sitcom dregs-of-the-80s-carried-to-the-nineties style to it. You know the one.
The game itself is a party game that supports up to four players with only one controller. The game basically consists of the CD-i generating 4 random dudes and you need to pick which one is the dreamiest while also guessing which ones your fellow bachelorettes would want to date based off of the likes and dislikes that they put down. I put it on the record that my type has to have a "columbo meets sans" fashion sense, be a goofy kind of dude, hardcore into lawnmowing, and aspires to be an entrepreneur. I ended up going for this dude that writes poetry, plays the bongos in a succulent fashion, hates capitalism, is hella into lawnmowing, and went on to become the CEO of a greeting card company. Fuck yeah.
Regrettably, I played this solo with 3 CPU players, and while I was very happy to see that each CPU character has their own FMV animation of them using a CD-i controller to select their choices in the game (a very important attention to detail that most games do not have with their CPU characters), I do wonder how different the experience would be with actual people. On one hand, things could be too easy given the fact that if I was with real people and they saw me losing my mind over Patrick's lawn mowing hustle, they'd know I would never leave his side until the end of eternity. On the other hand, you could absolutely very blatantly lie about which dude you are going for, which makes the game absolutely impossible at that point turning it into a completely blind guessing game. I guess I'll have to bust the ol' CD-i out next time I have friends over for some field research in that regard (but not before locking the door so they can't escape).
If this game is actually kino with friends then I'll bump this rating up by a star retroactively because I love dumb shit like this I eat it up like its breakfast. I figured that the 3DO and CD-i would share a lot of similar game ideas and vibes, so I'm glad there's a stupid party game on the thing. Hell, this game actually predates 3DO stuff like Twisted, station invasion, and zhadnost, so if anything the CD-i did it first. A true period piece of its time.
bro did you also know the composer behind the bangin opening is the same mfer that did the entire tetris CD-i OST????
