The Compact Disc-Interactive (CD-I, later CD-i) is a digital optical disc data storage format as well as a hardware platform, co-developed and marketed by Dutch company Philips and Japanese company Sony. It was created as an extension of CDDA and CD-ROM and specified in the Green Book specifications, co-developed by Philips and Sony, to combine audio, text and graphics. The two companies initially expected to impact the education/training, point of sale, and home entertainment industries, but the CD-i is largely remembered today for its video games.

00:17Excuse me.
00:21Excuse me?
00:23Oh, my, yes.
00:25You're here.
00:26Sign in, please. Name first, then state why you want to see the wall.
00:32Oh, well, actually, I was hoping to find out the meaning of life.
00:39You, too.
00:49What should I do?
00:52Take the red elevator.
00:56You must have taken the express, huh?
01:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:23Excuse me?
01:24Yes?
01:25I take it you're the wall?
01:27The great wall, if you don't mind.
01:29Yes, of course. I didn't mean to.
01:31No problem, no problem. It's okay.
01:33So, what's your name, anyway?
01:37Uh, Phil. Phil Jacobson.
01:39Phil. How can I help you?
01:41Well, I wanted an answer to a question.
01:44How did I know that? So, shoot.
01:47Well, I wanted to know the meaning of life.
01:53Phil?
01:55Yes?
01:57Have you ever played Mystic Midway?
01:59Huh?
02:00You haven't?
02:01Well, no, I don't think...
02:02Would you like to?
02:04Okay, how about Video Speedway?
02:06You can drive a car, can't you?
02:08Well, yeah, but I just didn't think...
02:09Just use your controller.
02:11Huh?
02:12In your hand, the controller.
02:14It opens up the whole interactive world of CDI.
02:18From Philips Electronics, you know,
02:20the company that invented audio cassettes,
02:21laser video discs, and compact disc technology.
02:24Now they've invented CDI.
02:27CDI.
02:28Compact disc interactive, Phil.
02:31CDI.
02:33Okay, but what does that have to do with the meaning of...
02:35Look out, Phil, look out!
02:36Steer right, you're gonna hit...
02:38Oh, one of those signs.
02:41Okay, come on, Phil, use the controller.
02:43Uh...
02:43The wireless thumbstick remote control in your hand.
02:52I see, like a video game.
02:53Oh, please, Phil.
02:55Never refer to CDI as just a video game.
02:59Why not?
02:59It looks like...
03:00So much more.
03:01An encyclopedia, for example.
03:03An entire 26 volumes on one disc.
03:06Push the button.
03:07Ask not what your country can do for you.
03:14Ask what you can do for your country.
03:18It's interactive.
03:19Meaning?
03:20Meaning you don't just sit and watch it,
03:22you control it.
03:24Hey, this is really cool.
03:26Check it out.
03:27It's Compton's interactive encyclopedia.
03:30It has a time machine.
03:33It teaches you history in a fun way.
03:37Learning doesn't have to be from books.
03:39Right, Phil?
03:40I wish I had something like this when I was a kid.
03:43With Philip CDI, your TV is no longer just a TV.
03:47It's anything you want it to be.
03:49Hey, how far back does this thing go, anyway?
03:53All the way, Phil.
03:55To the beginning of life itself.
03:58Life.
03:58Hey, you haven't answered my question about the meaning of life.
04:03Hello?
04:05Wall?
04:06Anybody?
04:08Oh, great.
04:11Is there anybody here?
04:13I need a little help here.
04:15May I assist you?
04:18You're not the wall.
04:19No, of course not.
04:21You asked for help.
04:23Right.
04:23I did.
04:24So, who are you?
04:25Help.
04:27Help?
04:28That's your name, I take it.
04:29That is correct.
04:32So, help me.
04:34Certainly.
04:36First, let's start by hooking up the imagination machine to your TV.
04:40It's as easy as attaching a single cable.
04:43Imagination machine?
04:45You're Philip CDI player.
04:47Yes, but I...
04:48In fact, your Philips CDI machine plays standard music compact discs.
04:52Well, what I really...
04:53Music CDs?
04:55That is correct.
04:57Your CDI machine plays music compact discs, photo CDs, and hundreds of interactive CDI titles.
05:03And with the optional digital video cartridge, your CDI system will even play feature-length Hollywood movies.
05:10Movies on a CD?
05:12Yes.
05:14May I ask your name?
05:16Phil.
05:17Phil.
05:18Phil, we'll talk more about the digital video cartridge in just one moment.
05:22But first, I want to continue demonstrating the ease of use of CDI.
05:27Well, actually, I wanted to talk to the wall again.
05:30Oh, I'm sorry.
05:31I can help you with any question you might have about compact disc interactive.
05:36Which is really great, you know, and I appreciate that it's a lot more than just a video game and everything, and that it's, um...
05:43Interactive.
05:44Right.
05:45Interactive.
05:46May I show you how easy it is to become interactive?
05:50First, remove the disc from the case.
05:52Push open on your CDI player, or you may use the controller to open the disc drawer, insert disc, and close.
06:02Uh, help.
06:03One CDI disc holds up to 250,000 pages of text, or 7,000 visual images, or...
06:09Help!
06:11Yes?
06:11Where is the wall, anyway?
06:15Hi, Phil.
06:16You're back.
06:16I was never gone.
06:18So, did you get some help from help?
06:20Very informative, but not what I expected.
06:23She's amazing, isn't she?
06:24But, she's only got a one-track mind.
06:27Unlike me, I'm very diverse.
06:30Which reminds me, Phil.
06:31Got any kids?
06:32Yes.
06:32Good.
06:33Watch this.
06:35All right.
06:35I don't know.
06:36Let's see what this is.
06:38Good job, baby.
06:40Kind of redefines interactive, doesn't it, Phil?
06:43It's not just you interacting with the imagination machine.
06:46Everybody interacts.
06:47Instead of sitting on a couch staring at a TV,
06:50the whole family has fun.
06:52What's this?
06:53Berenstain Bears on their own, and you on your own.
06:57Great title, huh?
06:58The Berenstain Bears.
06:59Help!
07:00May I assist you?
07:01Tell Phil about Berenstain Bears.
07:03Certainly.
07:04Brother and Sister Bear want to go to the annual country fair,
07:08but no one has time to take them.
07:10So Mama Bear agrees to let them go,
07:12but only if they prove they are responsible enough to go on their own.
07:16Your children can join this fun story and visit delightful locations
07:20with over 20 games and learning activities and nine...
07:25Thanks, Help.
07:26Kids love it, Phil, and so do parents.
07:29And see that controller?
07:30It makes it very easy for kids to use CDI.
07:33Phil, do you suppose your kids would like it?
07:35Yeah, they really would.
07:36And Berenstain Bears is just one of hundreds of titles available on CDI.
07:40Titles?
07:41Games, music, interactive learning, instruction, entertainment, movies, you name it.
07:49If it isn't on CDI, it soon will be, like this title.
07:52As a matter of fact, I've had quite a minute.
07:56I don't think I've ever seen this movie.
07:57It's not a movie, Phil.
07:59It's interactive entertainment.
08:02Move the arrow to another window and push the button.
08:04That I would like a mother to your children.
08:08What's this called?
08:10Voyeur.
08:11Suicide.
08:13Sounds pretty racy.
08:14It's not for kids, Phil.
08:16What we have here is a detective thriller where you're the detective.
08:21You record everything you see and try to solve the murder mystery.
08:25Oh, yes.
08:28Phil, there's a message for you.
08:30Mr. Jacobson?
08:32Uh, yes?
08:33Your wife called.
08:35She wants you to pick up a quart of milk after you've discovered the meaning of life.
08:40Oh, right.
08:43Oh, thank you very much.
08:46Hello?
08:48Oh, not again.
08:49Good job, Phil.
08:55You're getting the idea.
08:57Do you like sports?
08:58Absolutely.
08:59So try matching wits with NFL trivia.
09:01Are you ready to answer some tough football questions?
09:04Of course.
09:04Bring them on.
09:05Who is this Super Bowl MVP?
09:06Oops.
09:06Sorry, Phil.
09:07Time for a message about CDI from Phillips Electronics.
09:10Grab your pencil.
09:15This may look like an ordinary compact disc, but actually, it's an interactive encyclopedia.
09:21A stimulating match with a tennis pro.
09:24An interactive adventure through fantastic worlds.
09:27A glimpse into the world of Vincent Van Gogh.
09:30Or even a feature-length Hollywood movie.
09:33This is CDI.
09:35Compact disc interactive.
09:37Philips CDI is your total entertainment system that hooks up to your TV.
09:41It's a high-quality music CD player.
09:44It plays Kodak photo CDs, plus more than 100 interactive titles.
09:47And with the optional digital video cartridge, you can play feature-length Hollywood movies.
09:52Philips CDI is already in use in thousands of homes.
09:55And here's why.
09:58If I can use it, anybody can.
10:01I mean, I can't even set my VCR.
10:03It's very sharp.
10:04It's very clear.
10:06The wonderful photography that they've put in, along with the graphics, is tremendous.
10:11It's educational, and it's fun.
10:14And there's so many things that you can do on it.
10:16The audio CDs, the games, the educational material, the photo CDs, and now movies.
10:25I think putting this all on one simple plug-in piece of equipment will be really handy in the home.
10:32Actually, knowing how much they use it, I think we should have bought it, too.
10:36Philips CDI is available in thousands of retail stores.
10:40Now your family can enjoy it at home.
10:42You might expect to pay over $1,000 for an entertainment system that does this much.
10:47But now you can own a Philips CDI player for only $499.
10:50You can choose from more than 100 interactive titles from world-renowned publishers, beginning at only $15.
10:59During this special TV promotion, we'll include Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia on Disc,
11:04a $299 retail value, yours free during this limited-time offer.
11:09Call the number on your screen now for a free brochure and for the location of your nearest CDI retailer.
11:21It is a dark time for the Minamoto.
11:25Uh...
11:25Kiyomori, leader of the Taita clan, has imprisoned me in this cell.
11:32Well, could you tell me...
11:34Soiling the last vestige of our family honor.
11:39Gosh, I'm sorry to hear about that, but...
11:41My father, Yorimasa, has committed sepulch.
11:46Gee, I just came to the wall wanting to know the meaning of life.
11:49I didn't think...
11:51Phil, you're talking to a CDI character.
11:54CDI character?
11:56Compact Disc Interactive, Phil. Remember?
11:59But she was so real. How could I tell?
12:01I know, it's great, isn't it?
12:02Like this title, Palm Springs Golf.
12:06Ooh, bad slice.
12:07You may have seen golf games before, but none like this one.
12:12And titles like these.
12:14Real video right now is what separates Philips CDI from the rest of the pack,
12:18including feature-length movies from Paramount Studios.
12:21Like this.
12:22You can almost feel the G-force pulling your cheeks back against your ears, eh, Phil?
12:30Tennis, anyone?
12:31Tennis, Phil.
12:33Hey!
12:33You gotta be faster on your feet, Phil.
12:36All right, wait a minute, wait a minute.
12:37The controller, Phil.
12:39Interact.
12:46I get it.
12:47This is cool.
12:48All right, so try serving.
12:51Uh, what do I do?
12:53Just point and click.
12:54Welcome to interactive tennis, Phil.
13:01Keep practicing.
13:03You're getting it.
13:04Bye now.
13:05Hold it.
13:05Don't go.
13:07Ball.
13:08Okay.
13:08Okay.
13:08Service up.
13:09Okay.
13:12Service up.
13:21Straight with an arrow.
13:23Yeah, right.
13:23What'll I get some practice?
13:25Then you'll need some help.
13:26May I assist you?
13:28Oh, no.
13:29I didn't mean I needed help.
13:31That is my name, Phil.
13:32Okay, help.
13:33Would you like to learn something other than tennis, Phil?
13:35Uh, well, sure.
13:37Then I'm positive you'll enjoy these.
13:40What's that?
13:41Just one of the many interactive educational and instructional titles available on CDI.
13:46No, I mean that thing.
13:48Oh.
13:49This is the optional roller controller.
13:52Ideal for children and just one of the many controllers from which you may choose.
13:56They are very easy to use and easy to hook up, just like the imagination machine.
14:02It hooks up easily to any television and integrates perfectly with your home entertainment system.
14:08Oh.
14:08It's time to learn now, Phil.
14:11Please begin interacting.
14:17May I have eggs, please?
14:19Ah.
14:30Help?
14:32Yes, Phil?
14:33Little Monster is perfect for my children.
14:36Yes, Little Monster will help your children learn to read.
14:40But maybe could I take another crack at tennis?
14:43Phil, I'm surprised at you.
14:46The pursuit of knowledge is a very important aspect of life.
14:50Well, tennis was very fun.
14:51Ah, you admit it.
14:53Good.
14:54Very good.
14:55But remember, Phil, fun comes in all shapes and sizes.
14:59So your family can play tennis, tour museums.
15:01You can even help your kids learn Spanish.
15:05Globo.
15:06Globo.
15:07Oh, good.
15:08Pinguino.
15:09Pinguino.
15:10And learning isn't just for kids, Phil.
15:12Let's go to the Smithsonian.
15:14You can pilot the Bell X-1 and break the sound barrier.
15:20Or learn the secret of the world's fastest bicycle.
15:23Uh-oh.
15:24It's Gladys.
15:25Gladys?
15:26Yes, Gladys.
15:27Mr. Jacobson's appointment is over.
15:30Now, don't go keeping him there like you did the last time.
15:33Thank you, Gladys.
15:34I should also alert you that Daryl has gotten into the system again.
15:38So, Phil, have you ever been to the Smithsonian?
15:40Well, no, but who's Daryl anyway?
15:44Who?
15:45You know Daryl.
15:46Never heard of him.
15:47Gladys just mentioned his name.
15:49Now for something really new and exciting.
15:52Hanna-Barbera's Cartoon Carnival.
15:54Made possible by digital video from Phillips Electronics.
15:57With the optional digital video cartridge,
15:59you can experience the fun-filled world of Scooby-Doo,
16:03Fred Flintstone, George...
16:04Jetson.
16:07Uh, yes, Phil?
16:08Who's Daryl?
16:09Phil, forget about Daryl.
16:11You're here to talk to the Great Wall.
16:13And now I'd like to...
16:14Hey, guy, what's up?
16:18I assume you're...
16:19Daryl, at your service.
16:21Were you sent by the wall?
16:23Oh, no, man.
16:24I came on my own.
16:25Really?
16:26Hey, I know these things inside out.
16:29Uh, how come?
16:30I design interactive titles.
16:33Like tennis?
16:34Uh, no, but that's a good one.
16:35And we've got some coming out that are just as cool.
16:37And we're not the only developer.
16:39We?
16:40The company I work for.
16:42Phillips Electronics.
16:44No, see, Phillips invented compact disc technology, laser optical discs, and now compact disc interactive.
16:51It's a world standard.
16:52My company develops new titles for CDI.
16:54Oh, look, here's a new one coming out soon.
16:57Thank you, Charlie O'Donnell.
16:58And welcome to the Joker's Wild.
17:00This is Joker's Wild.
17:01Yeah, only this video is unlike any you've ever seen.
17:05It's interactive.
17:06Right.
17:07Smart guy.
17:08Not to change the subject, but can you get the wall to answer a question for me?
17:13You want to know the meaning of life, right?
17:15How did you know?
17:17Doesn't everybody?
17:18All right.
17:19You want an answer?
17:21Make the wall think you're interested in buying a CDI system.
17:25But I am interested.
17:26Ah, good.
17:27Should be easy, then.
17:28Oh, time to go.
17:29Look, don't tell the wall what we were talking about, okay?
17:32Uh, tell them how I was describing how CDI plays movies and all that neat stuff.
17:36Help already told me.
17:37Shh.
17:37What?
17:38Don't mention her name.
17:39Who?
17:39Help?
17:40No!
17:41May I be of assistance?
17:43Oh, no.
17:44What seems to be the matter, Phil?
17:46Well, I wanted to know how to play a music CD.
17:51Certainly.
17:52Just put in your favorite compact disc.
17:57And play.
18:02You can easily program playback with this on-screen menu.
18:06Compact Disc Interactive is a very versatile system.
18:13So, Phil, looks like you got to talk to Daryl after all.
18:16Oh, you do know.
18:18Of course.
18:19They don't call me the great wall for nothing.
18:22Besides, I'm a nice guy.
18:25You want to talk about the meaning of life?
18:27Well, that is why I came here.
18:29And I'll be right back to talk about that.
18:31But first, let's watch this message about CDI from Philips Electronics.
18:36This may look like an ordinary compact disc,
18:44but actually, it's an interactive encyclopedia.
18:48A stimulating match with a tennis fro.
18:51An interactive adventure through fantastic worlds.
18:54A glimpse into the world of Vincent Van Gogh.
18:56Or even a feature-length Hollywood movie.
19:00This is CDI.
19:02Compact Disc Interactive.
19:04Philips CDI is your total entertainment system that hooks up to your TV.
19:08It's a high-quality music CD player.
19:10It plays Kodak photo CDs,
19:12plus more than 100 interactive titles.
19:14And with the optional digital video cartridge,
19:16you can play feature-length Hollywood movies.
19:19Philips CDI is already in use in thousands of homes.
19:22And here's why.
19:22We bought it because it wasn't an instructional aid.
19:28He learned to count.
19:30He learned his ABCs.
19:32The camera will give a little picture inset,
19:37and the guy goes,
19:37Oh!
19:38Or,
19:39Yes, I sunk the putt.
19:41You know,
19:41and that's fun.
19:42That's the interactive stuff that makes it great.
19:45When I bought the unit,
19:46I did not have a CD player.
19:49So it's a perfect combination.
19:50You can use your regular CDs with this unit.
19:53It's educational,
19:54and it's fun.
19:56And there's so many things that you can do on it.
19:58Actually,
19:59knowing how much they use it,
20:00I think we should have bought two.
20:03Philips CDI is available in thousands of retail stores.
20:06Now your family can enjoy it at home.
20:09You might expect to pay over $1,000
20:11for an entertainment system that does this much,

20:36Call the number on your screen now
20:37for a free brochure
20:38and for the location of your nearest CDI retailer.
20:43So, Phil, what do you think?
20:45Give you any ideas?
20:47Yeah.
20:48I don't think you really know what the meaning of life is.
20:50Am I right?
20:51Phil, shame on you.
20:53I am, after all,
20:54the Great Wall.
20:56Hey, that rhymes.
20:58But first things first,
20:59what do you think about Compaq Disk Interactive?
21:02How easy it is to use.
21:04How it makes learning fun.
21:07How fun it can be to play.
21:09Who is the champion of Super Bowl XXV?
21:10And how it also plays music CDs,
21:13Kodak photo CDs,
21:15and even movies.
21:17What more could you want?
21:19Okay, I'm sold.
21:20But how about something really demanding?
21:23Ah, like a test of skills,
21:25battle of wits,
21:26that sort of thing?
21:27Exactly.
21:27I've got just the ticket.
21:30Link, faces of evil.
21:33You've got to conquer Ganon's evil forces
21:35and free the island of Korridai.
21:38Oh, by the way, Phil.
21:39Yeah?
21:40It's been nice knowing you.
21:42What do you mean?
21:43Help!
22:06Help!
22:06May I assist you?
22:09I'm trying to get past those flying pterodactyls.
22:14Can you give me some pointers?
22:15Yes.
22:16Good.
22:17First, let's start by hooking up the imagination machine to your TV.
22:21It's as simple as attaching one cable.
22:23Oh, no.
22:24In fact, your Philips CDI machine will even play music Compaq Discs.
22:29Help!
22:29I know all this.
22:31Good.
22:31Let's skip to ease of use then.
22:33If you can press a button,
22:35you can use CDI.
22:36Help!
22:37Sorry to interrupt,
22:39but could we get back to the game?
22:41Link, faces of evil?
22:43That's the one.
22:44May I recommend something less challenging
22:46in the dexterity and hand-eye coordination category?
22:49At your age...
22:50Hey, wait a minute.
22:51I can do it.
22:52I just want a clue.
22:54Then please ask the Great Wall for further assistance.
22:57Goodbye.
22:59So, Phil, let's get back to the big question.
23:02What do you see here?
23:03Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia.
23:06And?
23:06The definition of Lieutenant, junior grade.
23:09Phil, the other one.
23:11Life.
23:12Yes.
23:14But this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
23:16The controller, Phil.
23:18Interact.
23:19Okay, so?
23:21So read Definition 2A.
23:23All the experiences
23:24that make up the existence
23:26of a person.
23:29Experiences, Phil.
23:30Think about it.
23:32Help?
23:34May I assist you?
23:35Help.
23:38Do you know the meaning of life?
23:40I have an excellent demonstration
23:42of Sandy's Circus Adventure.
23:44Perhaps it will help you with your answer.
23:46children love deciding which path Sandy will follow.
23:50It teaches them how to make decisions.
23:53Like all interactive children's titles,
23:55the outcome changes based on your input.
23:58Should he go back to the circus
23:59or go home to his mom?
24:01That's what makes them educational and fun.
24:03The choices we make in life affect the outcome.
24:07Is that it?
24:08A very interesting observation.
24:11May I show you how to hook up
24:12a compact disc interactive machine
24:14to any television set?
24:16Oh, no.
24:18That won't be necessary.
24:18Hey, Phil.
24:22If variety is the spice of life,
24:24then Philips CD-i is one hot chili pepper.
24:27I mean, look at all these titles.
24:29Everything from learning how to ski
24:30to solving a murder mystery.
24:32One CD-i disc holds up to 7,000 visual images.
24:36The possibilities are endless.
24:38Hey, Phil.
24:39Yes?
24:39You look like a man dying to learn
24:41some interactive rock guitar.
24:47Are we having fun, Phil?
24:49Yes.
24:50And hasn't compact disc interactive made it fun?
24:53I feel a sales job coming on.
24:55But isn't that what life's about?
24:58Sales jobs?
24:58No, no, no.
24:59Fun.
25:00Experiences.
25:01I'll buy that.
25:02Excellent choice of words, Phil.
25:04You know, CD-i can bring you
25:05a variety of experiences
25:07like education, entertainment,
25:09enrichment.
25:10You can watch a movie,
25:12but that's not all.
25:13You can play that romantic CD
25:15and dance with your wife by moonlight.
25:19Put in a learning disc
25:20and you're able to help your children
25:21grow intellectually.
25:23Pinguino.
25:24Or you can play the most involving
25:25interactive games you've ever dreamed of.
25:28So, Phil,
25:29are we close enough here with an answer or what?
25:32Well, it's just that I expected.
25:35What?
25:36Fireworks?
25:36Angel singing?
25:37That kind of stuff?
25:38Exactly.
25:40Fair enough.
25:44How's that?
25:45You are amazing.
25:47Thanks, Phil.
