The Philips CD-i is a discontinued video game system, and was the first to be CD-ROM-based. Nintendo originally partnered with Philips to make the SNES CD. However, the project was later aborted. The CD-i was originally released in 1991; it cost $1000 in the United States[1]. After the SNES CD was abandoned, Philips released three games in The Legend of Zelda series, one in the Mario series (while another was planned but canceled), and a CD-i version of Tetris under contract from Nintendo. The Zelda and Mario games received bad reception; on top of that, the system itself sold poorly.
