Revisiting Nintendo's Dark World
In the early 90s, Nintendo experienced a less than stellar period when they licensed their intellectual property to Philips for use on the CD-i platform. This resulted in the creation of new Mario and Legend of Zelda titles, developed by teams that were entirely unrelated to Nintendo.
With minimal input from the gaming giant, these titles failed to live up to the quality and standards fans had come to expect from their favorite franchises.
Among the ill-fated CD-i Zelda games, Zelda's Adventure has been widely regarded as the better of the two. However, this is hardly a compliment, as like all CD-i titles, they were plagued with poor quality and lackluster gameplay.
