Hi Gary, I believe that there are about 80 consumer CD-I titles available in the UK and that CD-I is for sale at about 900 stores. At the moment I believe that all the consumer titles are distributed by Philips so they have the only catalogue, though the titles are co-developed with other companies. There are also professional CD-I titles for corporate training etc. If you need more information, such as where to see a demo, please phone the Philips CD-I Information line in the UK on 0800-885-885. When I did this myself a few months ago they sent me the Summer/Autumn 92 CD-I catalogue and a list of addresses for 400 stores where CD-I was for sale at that time. I uploaded the catalogue as the file CDIUK.TXT in Library 1 of this Forum – but I'm hoping that it will be updated soon. If you have further questions, I can recommend asking them in the CD-I section of the MULTIMEDIA Forum (GO MULTIMEDIA) as CD-I people from Philips Interactive Media America & the UK are answering CD-I questions there. In due course I'm hoping that more information files will appear in the library of this new CD-I section, including a new list of CD-I titles. Hope this helps. Mark
