Compact Disc-Interactive, or CD-i, refers to both a digital optical disc data storage format and to the players that play them. The disc format was created as an extension of CDDA and CD-ROM and specified in the Green Book, co-developed by Philips and Sony, to combine audio, text, and graphics. CD-i players, most of which were manufactured by Philips or by its subsidiary Magnavox, are typically standalone boxes that connect to a standard television, much like a VCR or a game console. The first players were released in 1990, and the format was eventually discontinued in 1998.
In addition to CD-i media, CD-i players can play audio CDs, CD+G, photo CDs, and video CDs. CD-i media included video games as well as "edutainment" and multimedia reference titles, such as interactive encyclopedias and museum tours. The CD-i hoped to compete in this segment at a time when personal computers were significantly more expensive and when internet access was not widespread. As a game console, the platform competed against the Sega Mega Drive and Mega-CD and the Sega Saturn.
