I just received a copy of Hotel Mario for the CD-i from a retro gaming company that is going out of bussnies. Its still in its original plastic wrapping, a real collectible.

For those of you who dont know the CD-i was Philips failed attempt at getting in to the video game market. It was originally like the Playstation supposed to be a CD add-on for the SNES. When Nintendo ditched Philips the CD-i was released as its own stand alone system and somehow Philips got their hands on the Mario license and this game was released.

Im a huge Mario fan so Im really glad to have this game in my collection.

I have heard of how terrible the CDi was but I have never played a game on one. I have never heard of that game either, but I'm not that surprised.

Might you happen to have the Legend of Zelda games that came out for the CDi? :P

Are any of them playable, and if they are, are they any good?

it's sort of a puzzle game, you gotta shut all the doors on five floors of the motel

better watched (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hezP8dBb9J4) than explained  vs Bowser (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xhBucu-mzLc)

plus cutscenes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nS956FdMPfc)

Oh dear lord. When did Mario get a Brooklyn accent? Wasn't he Italian?

Still not as bad as Zelda for the CD-i:

Try watching some of the "no dinner" videos (based on the scenes in Zelda CD-i)) on there.

Personally, I found them to be quite hilarious.

You must not have tried the Virtual Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Virtual_Boy).  I heard the N-Gage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage) was pure evil as well, but I never tried it.

CD-i!  My dad got my brother and I one of these back in '96 after our genesis crapped out.  After a few hours with one of the golf games, I stopped playing until about 2002.  I always look back and thank the CD-i for saving me from an adolescence filled with gaming.
Had he picked up a Playstation, I'd probably still be in a parent's basement, closing in on 300 pounds, grinding away.

Hotel Mario, otherwise known as "Mario! Shut the damn door, we're not trying to cool the outside!" I mean sure, we all experienced that as kids, but some experiences do NOT require being made into a video game. They should make a game called Mario, Get Out of the Bathroom!
