Just a short note to say that we will be changing the registrar of the domain theworldofcdi.com within a week from now. This means that the site might appear offline for a short time, up to 48h from the move. After that everything should be just fine again.
No data will be moved, so there won’t be any data loss. It’s just moving to a more conveniant registrar (and it saves a few euros a year too, don’t forget the small savings 😉 )
Dear Members,
In this time of Corona Virus and new upcoming lockdowns, we (The World of CD-i Team) want to let you know that we are with you, to bring you new content so you can stay entertained by your most loved CD-i player.
We care about your health as with your family. We are in a very strange time we will never forget as our children too.
Please respect your country rules (even if they are difficult) and avoid at the maximum being in the streets. Keep the distance between you and the others, use your mask and wash your hands frequently. Avoid at the maximum being in contact with older people to keep them out of danger.
STAY SAFE, together we will defeat COVID-19 and get our life back!
The World of CD-i Team
At The World of CD-i, each team member knows exactly what to do.
We are in constant contact each other, to define new projects and areas to work on.
That is why we proudly announce 2 new official team members for his respective target.
CD-i Fan, the Emulator creator.
He will exclusively work on the Title Development section, under the Open-Source project, and of course continue with BurnCycle (emulator tester) to make a better experience of his Emulator.
Alan_CDiZone the biggest CD-i lover I ever know!
He will provide some experience of his incredibly huge collection and other material to the site database.
He is the man behind the now sadly closed Philips CD-i Zone Facebook page. He is a very busy man, but he will for sure answer you as soon as possible.

Dedicated websites only got news once or twice a year and forums were really calm.
That was what people who were searching for news faced.
Times are changing, that is why for more than 10 years Facebook Groups (FBG) was chosen by all kinds of people (CD-i lovers or just curious).
I can absolutely confirm that the pioneer of this way of spread the good word came from Alan with his Philips CD-i Zone (now sadly closed since early 2019). This is absolutely insane when you know this guy don’t like Facebook and don’t have any opened account…!
It’s good to see activity again in our Community!
It’s good to see how our return woke up people and gave them more strength!
It’s good to see healthy concurrency!
It’s good to see people talking about CD-i again!
Everything is good? Of course it isn’t. We have to be careful, sometimes the will to do everything at once can brings you back again to the same point before.
The Compact Disc Interactive is indeed a dead system, no way to deny this fact. Nothing we can do will bring him back to life again like in the 90’s. We are not talking about a Sony PlayStation 3 or 4 with tons of websites trying to rule the world of information. We are just talking about CD-i, yes, CD-i this amazing system that nobody understood how powerful it was for its time… We are talking about only a few websites you can count in one hand, and maybe more FBG than websites…
So, It’s good to see concurrency, but with respect and truth.
Like someone told me some weeks ago, time make things change.
I am still hoping this can happen.
In the name of all the people who are behind me and without who it would not be possible to bring this website back to life. Enjoy this website and any other places that talks about your beloved system!
Our Facebook Group Log created in February 2017 to let everyone follow the development of The World of CD-i is no longer needed at it was used until the website opening in April 2019.
People got the possibility to be apart of most of the developments steps we made, the presentation of our team, and also some news around the world about the CD-i.
We have now changed the name and the logo of the Facebook Group.
It is now a website’s support group, feel free to post there any questions or photos of your collection!
With 205 titles listed at this moment, this is the most accurate list you can find on the internet.
You can find them listed below or under “MORE” on the right menu choosing “USA Release”.
The list is in constant update, it as been verified by several worldwide collectors.
A special Thanks to Stacy Burns and Blazers also members of this website, that is currently in the Guinness Book Records for his USA collection, all systems included.
Alan_CDiZone, our team member, have been a very important pillar to confirm, add and remove titles from this list!
The following list include titles like Games, Kids, Multimedia and “Digital Video on CD-i” (movies and music), not necessary published by Philips, but surely published in the USA. The list do not include Video-CDs (movies and music).
The Word of CD-i as been improved in the right side menu.
Now you can select titles using different filters as:
– By the number of players for Games, Kids and multimedia as Head-to-Head or Alternatively.
– If a Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) is needed or optional.
– By Music or Movies that are Video-CD or Digital Video on CD-i.
– By catalogue number from each country code.
Also, from now on, when you use the search toolbar, beside the result, you will also get the cover or picture of what you are looking for, to help you define quicker what you need.
More changes will com during the year, we hope you will enjoy this website improvement!
The website is being improved at this moment (and since a few weeks now).
Slowly you will see some “little” changes that will definitely blowup the way you use to surf over the site for your searches. I am sure many of you have already noticed some changes…
This will take at least 4 months to conclude… but you can be sure you will enjoy it!
We will announce when it will be finished. For now, you will still be able to visit the website as normal.
