Template:System The Philips CD-i was a home multimedia device created by Philips. It was designed to play audio CDs and, with add-on hardware, Video CDs as well. Although designed as a general-purpose multimedia device, the CD-i is best known as a failed game console, in part because almost all of the games available were of very low quality, especially those licensed by Nintendo. The three Zelda games released for the CD-i are known within the fandom as the "Dark Triforce". Because the CD-i was seen as a game console by the general public, it did not sell well when compared to the more powerful and less expensive dedicated game consoles available at the time. Because the CD-i failed to sell well, Philips took it off the market in 1998.
