I remember being in a vacation park with my parents. All the bungalows had a CDi player, and you could rent games at the reception. I also remember thinking that all those CDi games were glorified DVD menus....

DVD menus had built in games with more gameplay than CD-i games lol

Lol. That's true! There are DVD menu games with higher approval ratings than some CD-I games.
