X-MEN: THE PHOENIX SAGA 1996 Interactive CD-ROM Comic Book

 

In 1996, Toy Biz launched several Marvel Comics character action figures that came with accompanying interactive CD-ROMs. Working on both Windows and Mac computers, they took classic stories and shoehorned in narration and footage from then-current Marvel animated series. They were a bit sloppy, but they were still highly entertaining.

And each one even had an intro from "The Man" himself!


Sadly, these unique little CDs were never digitized. Fortunately, I saved at least one - "X-Men: The Phoenix Saga" - and copied it in its entirety to an ISO!

The disc needs to be unpacked, and while it works perfectly fine on older computers, ones running Windows 10 may require some fiddling. Still, it's a real treat once you get it running.

EXCELSIOR!
