Burn:Cycle for CD-i
From: BOISY To: ALL
I just received a new CD-i title (read OS-9 software) called Burn:Cycle.
This game is absolutely amazing. I cannot *believe* the graphics and
animation. And it doesn’t even require the Digital Video Cartridge.
Show this one to your friends. Tell ‘em it’s OS-9 software.
They’ll pass out.

While it’s true it is OS-9 software, telling your friends so would give the
impression that you could access such software with your OS-9 computer, and
not through a dedicated graphics engine. That’s like telling them that some
of the arcade game machines are OS-9 (which they very well could be, though
not probable). Not that your statement isn’t true, it’s just a little
misleading!

Ditch the cops and watch out for other competitors. I have heard of Burn
Cycle. I haven’t heard much though. Looks like my brother gets his CDI
machine by the end of the week. I’m helping him get his first, then in two
months I’ll have mine.
BTW, the model he is getting (and me) is Phillips CLV-220. Wireless
remote and wire joypad available (plugs in the front), a rather nice joypad.
We really are trying to get the best deal. It is tough, we were
promised $550 and five free discs. No the guy isn’t so shure. Supposedly
he is going to try talking to Phillips. Do you know what kind of promotions
there are out there? We heard at Media Play that a coupon exists for 3 free
disks (normal and FMV?).
Any information from anybody would be much appreciated,

Frank,
>Not that your statement isn’t true, it’s just a little misleading!
Huh? I fail to see what’s misleading about it. The fact of the matter
is that these CD-i titles are OS-9 programs. I fail to expound here
that it is not a computer as you or I am used to, but I take it for
granted that everyone here knows what CD-i is.
Trying to run a CD-i title on your MM/1 would produce unacceptable results,
I’m sure. But, so would trying to run a K-Windows program under G-Windows.
I think that telling your friends that the CD-i player is an OS-9 system
and that OS-9 software is actually on the CD-i disk reinforces the
versatility of OS-9.
You know, it’s interesting that we have been so used to having an OS-9
shell at our fingertips; when we see OS-9 working in its more familiar
environment (embedded, hidden) we are reluctant.
Perhaps your perception that my statement is misleading shows that your
view of OS-9 is a bit more narrow than mine?

When viewed with the perspective that you are talking to OS-9 literate
people (such as here), your statements make perfect sense, and the person
would know what you meant. Talking to a person familiar with other computers
and possibly NOT CD-I, it
would be misleading to them. Those familiar with CD-I would understand you
perfectly though. And you are right.. we do tend to ignore the embedded
applications!

Burn:Cycle is not about racing; it’s a common misconception.
Burn:Cycle is a first person perspective game (like Doom) but with
all sorts of mini-movies and a good plot. You get/put things just
like in an adventure game.
The game is set in the future where you are a humanoid named Sol Cutter,
who has a computer implanted in your brain. While stealing data from
Softech, a software company, a virus gets implanted into your neural
computer. You have two hours to get it out, or your brain will turn
to mush.
I have to say, it’s really cool… A warning though: this game contains
some offensive language, quite a bit of blood and graphic violent scenes,
as well as some mild nudity. I don’t think I would recommend it for
young kids.
That said, it has to be one of the best games of its kind for CD-i.

ahhhh, memories
—– there I was, sometime in the middle 60′s, hustling back from
Albequerque NM to San Angelo TX (trying to get back before the
First Sergeant at Goodfellow AFB found out I was gone) —
I hit a patch of oil on a curve and the motorcycle squirted out from
under me like a watermellon seed. I found myself travelling down the
asphalt on the seat of my pants at about 55mph — hands out in front,
still gripping the missing handlebars — wondering what happened.
THAT, my friend, is ROAD RASH.

Actually, I ordered Burn:Cycle directly from Philips. They have an
800 order number (sorry, I don’t have it with me now) where you can
call and order titles.
I’ve seen Zelda at Sears. It looks ok, don’t know much else.
Microcosm looks really cool. It’s much the same as Microscopic
Mission, but is FMV and has lots of cool graphics.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your CD-i player dude. If you don’t have
Burn:Cycle soon, I’ll bring it over when I go to Chi-town in a couple
of weeks.

I hope your getting this if you already don’t have it. It’s a

Litil Divil is kinda a dungeon gam. You are a runt Devil called “Mutt” sent
on a mission to retrieve lost souls from the abyss… There are 6 levels
to work up through, each getting harder as you progress. On each level, you
will find pizza, which is used a curency at the shop on each level to buy
necessary items to complete your quest. There are several doorways on each
level, that require you to complete some task (combat, figure out a puzzle
or a skill type thing) after you “solve” the room, the corridor will open
to another part of the level…
The graphics are of course great, and it has a lot of subtle humor in it. It
is pretty difficult to get killed, but some of the doorways are really
a challange to get past…

In *Litil Divil*, you play a demon who’s in search of the Mystic Pizza of
Plenty. (*CDi* says that there’s a sequel in the works, in which he’s made

bicycle has over other in-town ways of getting around. I also like the

Frank,
“Laying it down” is not exactly the total defeat you imply-
in fact it’s good stuff, given the clothing. Sort of like bowling,
except you want a split.
My theory is everyone should be forced to ride a 125 Honda over
broken terrain a few years before they mount a hog. The lessons
learned also apply to the clumsy contraptions sold to the masses.

You are ever so right about the “riding a 125 for a few years”! I started
riding regular in Japan on an 80cc scooter! Then was looking for a good used
350 when I got back, but found a cherry 175 twin and couldn’t pass it up.
Never rode that farther than an hour one way though… just wouldn’t hold
a steady 70 with me on it! But around town was great. A 250 2-stroke streeter
after that (it has taken a few 4 hour road trips.. will hold 70 drafting a
Mack anyway!), the n a 500 2 stroker, then the 1000. I was happiest with
the 500 though, as an all around fun bike. The 1000 is a bit on the heavy side
for real twisty road fun… that’s why I still have the 250 street racer…

Bicycling compares somewhat with motorcycling. A small to medium size motorcycle
has all the advantage you mention of a bicycle in traffic. A 250cc is great for
around town and short day trips of a couple hours each way occasionally. A
500cc is prefect for all day rides for one person. The big ones (over 500cc)
are really to heavy to throw around through traffic much. I really loved my
500 (it was 2-stroke.. really quick!), but the 1000 came along when the old
1976 electronic ignition went out. Suzuki wanted $200 for a new box! And the
1000 I stole at $400.00 (been parked for 5 years… 1980 model). Just a little
work and $150 later and it was running great! I put 10,000 mile on it in the 20
months I{{‘ve had it so far!!

Nationals, on the then new (and stone stock) XL125. Strange to
talk about a hi-torque 7.5 cdi 4 stroke, but there it was
climbing the muck in second. I wasn’t the purist he was, so a
few bits and pieces and we had 25 horsepower to go along, in a
220lb motorcycle (with a 38″ seat height!).
Talk about a powered bicycle! For about a half hour, you
could run close to 80, a little more on the easy parts, but one
day the fastination of doing this with a GVW of 440lbs and 1cc
over the legal lower limit for freeway vehicles faded.
Nice dual purpose idea I’d buy into again- the headlight,
tach, speedo, turn signals and horn formed a sub-assy that came
off with 2 bolts and a 24? position connector. I’d hide it in a
bush and go play.

My brother does abvout 2000 a year (probably more) on his bicycle…. He
did a ride called BAM (Bicycle Across Misouri) a few years ago, which was 546
miles in 50 hours… The record for that ride is just under 24 hours I believe.
He’s planning on doing the same ride in a year or two… I just hope I can
get another person to help be drive the support van (I had to do that solo
the last time he did it)

Uhh, excuse me! What do motorcycles and bicycles have to do with Burn:
Cycle for CD-i or computers and OS-9 for that matter. I just went through
a good 15 to 20 messages and no of them where about what I read these messages
for.

I ahve NEVER riden in the dirt!~ Well, you can’t really count dirt roads and
some hard-packed trails through the woods (“tractor roads” as we called them
mostly) on a street/trail 125 my brother once had. It was more street than
trail anyway… not like the street legal enduros they make now.. no where
NEAR that kind of ground clearance! Was made for rough roads and some trails,
but not all-out dirt!!

Well, I guess I started it. Somebody mentioned “Road Rash”, and
it reminded me of an unplanned high-speed dismount from a motor-
cycle many years ago. It seems a lot of others had similar memories
and comments.
This is indeed the OS9 discussion area, BUT it is also a gathering
of friends, and we often wander off the original subject now and
then.
I plead guilty, Mr Thread Policeman, sir, slap the cuffs on –
I’ll go quietly.

.. charges dropped, you may go free…
Hi John,
I did not mean that as a flame or anything, just a reminder. I can see
wandering off subject in one or two messages, that is going to happen.
But, a whole thread of non-subject… I kinda liked reading about
peoples “road rash” happenings, at first I was amussed. But, it just
got too reduntant after a while.
Man I wish I knew what was causing my cursor to move randomly and
print random, non-english characters. It is mostly dots as in
the ‘.’. It is hard for me to tell if I have put a period at the end
of any of my sentences or not. Then if I half oops backspace
I have to take into account that… I gotta stop I cannot
tell what I have typed here with all these random characters. I will
get back to you I am going to log off then log back on to see if that clears
this up. See ya.

Hi John,
Back again. I just re-logged on and that seemed to clear up the problem
I was babbling about in my message # 90597. Those random characters were
gaining on me so quickly that I could not tell what I was typing. It looked
Like I had been punching keys on this keyboard randomly. I am doing a
“FOLLOW” on this thread and I am sure that when I get to that message it
will be displayed just fine. Anyway, I gotta go. I need to hit the Inter-
net today to see if I can find out about the “NEW” Paramount Network that
the new Star Trek will be aired on. See ya.
LONG LIVE OS-9! ** In whatever form it is in!
