RAM Raid

This game is defunct.
Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Bundled with CD-Online Issue 02 is RAM Raid, an online deathmatch FPS that's probably the most impressive CD-i game. Can you defeat the other CD-Online subscribers RAM Raiders and challenge the evil computer RAM?!

Well, not anymore, you can't. The CD-Online service was terminated in 1999, leaving only the offline practice levels playable as of writing.

A more advanced version of its engine would be used for Atlantis: The Last Resort.
