Whack A Bubble Review (Translated to English) - Dutch CD-i Magazine Volume 4 Issue 11 November 1997
A 2 page review of Whack A Bubble from the Dutch CD-i Magazine. Rather than a full reconstruction this one was just sent through Google translate and presented as is. It didn't get butchered too much by the software, which is what usually happens!

'The Big CD-i Games Overview '97' (Translated to English) - Dutch CD-i Magazine Volume 4 Issue 12 December 1997
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.

Litil Divil Review (translated to English) - Dutch CD-i Magazine Volume 1 Issue 1 October 1994
The language barrier always prevented me from fully appreciating the Dutch CD-i magazine, this was always a shame as it outlasted the UK bi-monthly and seemed to promise extra coverage of the latter years of the CD-i's life that we never got to see in the UK
Modern technology has allowed me to finally appreciate these, so here's the first review i've thrown through Google translate and 'Frankenstein'ed back together. Unfortunately it seems to be heavily based on the English review that appeared in CD-i magazine UK issue 7 from August 1994. Still, as a proof of concept for future translations it seems to have turned out fairly well so fingers crossed for more exclusive Dutch articles from later issues.
