I need to fill in a few things here. First of all, thanks Willem for visiting us and thank you Damien for posting it here.
This CD-i game was uncovered in the collection CD-i of The New International CD-i Association who put their entire collection for display (and use) in the museum. A few months ago, a team of archivists started to make copies of the disks and then we found this version on an unlabeled disk.
There is a copy in our possession and we will share it with the world soon. Early december we have a big CD-i-event and after that we will release it. You may wonder why, because one of the guests (speakers) is the technical director of Philips back in the day of CD-i. He personally went to Japan and negotiated with Nintendo and it ended with Nintendo allowing Philips to use the characters on their platform.
The reason is a fairly simple trade and that's what we'll also make public after December 3 (it will be personally told by the technical director on that event). I already know the story and it goes way beyond what people assume over here. It even links to Microsoft, MSX and Sony.
But to give you a small insight, the reason why Nintendo gave characters to Philips had nothing to do with 'getting back to Sony'.
And I prefer to be in the Netherlands (in English). However, in some languages it's called Holland and we have to live with that too. But in English, it's better to have it written as Netherlands.
I'm sure people will correct me when I refer to the United States as "America" and the United Kingdom as England.
