  • I bought a second-hand Phillips CD-i around '97 (once the format flopped, they were pretty cheap) with FMV (Full Motion Video) chip, and bought a few VCDs in Chinatown.

    Can’t remember all of them (some HK action flicks) but I definitely had The Replacement Killers, one of the few Western films they sold, because it starred Chow Yun-Fat.

    (Also had the Demolition Man game for the CD-i. And got a bunch of other obsolete/flopped consoles: Panasonic 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Sega Game Gear etc.)

    But I don’t have any of that any more, all gone in various moves over the years.

    I do still have a few films in .rmvb, the “VCD of filesharing formats” ;) as it was very popular for sharing East Asian films.

    Anyways, I don’t think you’re unwell but then who am I to talk? :D
