Why, Philips, Why?

Behold, the endings from two Philips CD-I Zelda games:

rofl, that's terrible shit. OMG ZELDA UR SO HAWT LOL!!!!!

At least the animated show didn't suck.

LLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMME LOL

Golly!

The intros are even worse, if you can believe that.

Think that's bad, try live action!

I won!

So, which one is Zelda?

It's so bad I stopped watching it as soon as that creature started talking.

That thing is supposed to be Ganon.

You really need to watch the whole thing, no matter how eye bleedingly bad it may be. It's hilarious how easily Ganon is defeated. Plus, "Surfer Dude" Link is quite possibly the best WTF?! moment you are to experience in this lifetime.

Think I just had an orgasm. I hope one day these games are properly emulated for a Zelda compilation in the near future.

I forced myself to watch the horrible videos, and "Surfer Dude" Link was easily one of the best WTF? moments I've experienced. What Nintendo thinking when they let Phillips make those horrible games?

Man, those boss battles are so tough. I'm glad I never played those games. There's no way I'd ever be able to finish them. Props to the guy playing in the videos. :P

If this is the future of computer games then where all fucked.

Well since Bloodshedder stole my thunder the other thing I was going to say was that I can't stand how Youtube has somehow managed to block you from leeching the videos out of their pages since using the "Page info" in FF doesn't seem to work. :(

It looks like you can't get to the video directly. This was as close as I could get: http://www.youtube.com/player.swf?video_id=imlyVV0yYKo

EDIT: after disassembling player.swf, I figured out that the movie is here: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=imlyVV0yYKo

I know im glad thats in the past now, CD-I wasn't much of an succes from what ive heard.

In all consideration the CD-i was a bitchin system. I blame its coastly price why this failed.

Why does link look like he is wearing lip stick? O_O

You obviously naver vacationed at Hyrule.

At least it's not like in Ocarina of TIme where young Link looked like he was wearing a miniskirt. :\

heh, faggy.

I remember a legend of zelda cartoon from when I was a kid (ish), but I don't remember it being anything like as bad as that...

That was awesome! Especially "Ganon's" part. The audio is Flashtub worthy. Where can I get this game?

Do a search for CD-I emulation, along with the titles of the games: Zelda: the Wand of Gamelon and Link: the Faces of Evil. That should turn something up.

Man, those "cinematic sequences" contain some of the most abominable animation/character design I've ever seen. I've never viewed anything so awkward and pathetic looking. In other words, it was a riot to watch. And, as others have pointed out, it's laughable how easy it was to beat the game.

Aw fuck, you mean the link to the video was inside the tiny embed? Dammit, I downloaded a few of those "player.swf" files but I found out they were the same file size and then deleted them. I don't think I'll be able to find those videos again. :'(
Edit: I just found out I didn't delete them so I opened them up with notepad and it's all code. How did you disassemble it?
