With the first CD-i compatible player releasing on December 3rd, 1991 in North America, the format's biggest claim to fame are it's notoriously bad Nintendo-licensed games - a rarity for the giant. Capable of outputting 384×280 to 768×560 depending on the model at 24-bit/16-bit color, with all models containing the Philips SCC68070 68k-based chip + Philips SCC66470 graphics chip, later changing to the "MCD 212". It turned out to be a failure, and was Phillips' only attempt of creating a home game console format - even though this isn't what it originally was intended for!
