Go (CD-i)

Go
Developer: Capitol Disc Interactive Publisher: Philips Media Platform: CD-i Released in IT: 1994? Released in ES: 1994 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has a prototype article

A CD-i rendition of everyone's favorite Chinese board game... which was only released in Italy and Spain.

A wider release for Go was planned at some point (an English prototype exists, and the game's listed in the US long box catalogue), but it never happened for whatever reason.

Debugging File

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can this debug mode be reactivated in some way?

Present among the disc's files is cdi_goid - a variant of the used file cdi_goi - which contains the code and strings for a debugging mode. It would've been controlled using a keyboard and a CD-i dev kit.

The file can be sorted into three distinct segments, the first of which deals with the menus of Go. At the end is a memory editor made by "EKS", which might be related to one seen in the debug files of future CapDisc titles.
