Particularly when video CD came out :-D
I don't know if Video CD was as widely marketed here. Never saw a standalone player in the U.S., you needed a CDI player, plus an extra gizmo called the digital video cartridge to play them and some full motion games.
It probably didn't help that some early CDI movies weren't authored to the VCD specs, and wouldn't play on anything else.
That new VCD's still come out in Asia boggles my mind.
