INTERACTIVE CD Rom - only game?

Hello people
I saw ´Interactive´ CD rom for a very reasonable price. But before I buy it, I need to know if it´s only a game, or if there are live videos with the NPG, unreleased songs, Prince playing instruments, etc.
Thanks a lot in advance

It's like myst. you walk around this building, and you solve puzzles. there are clips of Prince songs, and there are 4(I believe) compolete videos. Gett,off. Diamonds and Pears. Endorphin machine. Interactive. the last two are like performances, not in front of an audience thoguh. as far as I know, they were made exsclusively for the game, but I am a young fan, so I don't know everything! There are also clips of several live performances through out, and plenty of neat stuff. don't expect unreleased material though. I think. I thought it was very cool, and a very neat thing for a Prince fan to have. don'tdrop too much money for it thoguh. wait for a good price.

Hey Gustavo!

The Interactive game has 2 puzzles in it, in which you solve to view full videos of Gett Off, and Diamonds and Pearls.

There's live snips of Kiss performed live from Nude tour, The Sacrifice of Victor, and some other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. Some pictures talk about Prince, that sort of thing. The cd player on it plays a song from every cd released up until the game was released. Doesn't play the full song though.

I bought it used for $5 about a month ago. I feel it was good enough for $5. biggrin

Remember that the Cd Rom is from 1994, so 4 the year 2002 it's now quite outdated. There r 2 full videos, interactive and endorphine machine and lots of clips that range from 5 sec to 20 i guess. If u can get it for a cheap price, it's worth it, by no means great but OK. Actually I didn't find the game fun but it's prince so i guess any fan will b interested. smile

hope it's clear

I have this Interactive CD, and I recommend that you get it (especially if it's at a reasonable price).

It's got the 4 videos, snippets of various Prince songs throughout his pre-1994 career, and also has interviews with other musicians (Eric Clapton, George Clinton, etc).

It's not great, but it is very good (especially for the time it was released).

I can't ever hear what that chick is saying in the game. I haven't ever solved the game either. I think some of the graphics aren't showing up on my computer.

- Yes... I dont mind if the graphics are outdated. I just wish there were more MUSIC than games. It would be cool if there was Prince playing piano only, without band, or a live performance with the NPG...that´s why I asked. I wouldnt buy it only for the game...
Thanks everybody for all the replies

I last ran it on a Mac Quadra 610 and it was buggy as hell.
Lots of crashes.

It might work better on a Wintel system.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

As found in the FAQ of this site:

Why can't I operate the safe in the Interactive CD-ROM game?

For whatever reason, the safe doesn't work unless you set your display resolution to 640 x 480.

This is the most important thing to remember about playing this CDROM. SET YOUR SCREEN to 640 x 480! I bought it way back when it was originally released (paid a full $44.00 for it) and most display resolutions were 640 x 480 standard in 1994. Now I have to go in and change it everytime I boot this thing up.
