Graphically it was superior to anything else I had played (SNES and Genesis were the two available at the time) but it definately lacked polish, even to 8 year old me. The real kicker is that everything about it just looked... Different from what was being pushed by Nintendo and Sega with their consoles.

I also had access to PCs which would play Wolfenstien3D, so I would say the game play was also somewhat superior, but the CDi lacked depth with the games. (Or I was too young to advance in them beyong the first levels due to difficulty)

I also just remembered that there was another game which was incredibly well made... And it was all 90s western cartoon styled about a knight trying to save a princess from a dragon.

I think you're talking about Dragon's Lair-- I wouldn't necessarily call it well made. It was designed as an arcade game to munch through your quarters, so the gameplay felt pretty unfair with very short timing on everything.

That's the one.

I mean, it was better made than the other games I had access to.

And yes, its Ninja Gaiden levels of difficult.
