Here is something we really don’t use to see a lot, Marlboro – Follow Your Dreams.

One Arabian School CD-i disc discovered


I found this title right after Blazers explained on our forum how he discovered his beautiful Knowlogy CD-i player.
I am in touch with people who worked on those titles, let’s see if we can get more information about those 103 different Arabian CD-i titles.

It says:

General Agent: Saudi Knowledge Company, Abanami Commercial Center, Salah El Din Al Ayoubi Road.
6th Grade of Primary School
Ministry of Acquaintance
Knowlogy – Knowledge
GP61
Year 1997

As the 103 titles are for School Grades from 1 to 12, this specific disc is for Grade 6th.
We have to discover if the GP61 have something to see with the Grade 6.

More info soon…
