I've never had a CDi (I had a 3DO) and it's become mostly known for the terrible Zelda games it had. But looking back at it the hardware was pretty impressive for the time. I was wondering if anyone here had one, if they liked it and how it was actually playing games on it.

The CDi and 3DO were fairly ahead of their time in that they were "multi-media" consoles instead of strictly game machines. That sort of thing is common place now with game systems doing just about everything from games to streaming movies. But in the early 90s that didn't seem to be popular or a big selling point.
