  A 4 page feature from the Dutch CD-i Magazine looking back on all the CD-i games released in 1997. Translated from Dutch to English and reconstructed in DTP software to resemble the original review as closely as possible. 

It's a nice article which gives an overview of many of the later titles released for the CD-i which didn't get a lot of coverage in the press due to being released in the twilight years of the system. 

Games covered include - Arcade Classics, Christmas Country, Accelerator, Golden Oldies 1 & 2, Zenith, Labyrinth of Crete, Atlantis: The Last Resort, The Last Bounty Hunter, Tetsuo Gaiden, Creature Shock, Braindead 13, L'Affaire Morlov, The Lost Ride, Whack A Bubble, De Zaak Van Sam & Ultra CD-i Soccer.
