According to the Memories disc (the one that was given to the employees at the videodisc plant when they shut it down), the last title produced was "Jewel Of The Nile." Well, that's the last commercially sold title anyway - I would imagine that the Memories discs would truly be the last CEDs. I'll check my copy of the Memories disc again to see if it has an exact date, but I believe it was in early January 1986 that the "Jewel Of The Nile" CEDs were produced.

Sorry for the long delay in checking on this information, and for getting the month mixed up. The following information is quoted from RCA's "Thanks For The Memories" video:

-THE FIRST TITLE INTRODUCED (MARCH 1981)
RACE FOR YOUR LIFE CHARLIE BROWN

-100,000 TH DISC (MAY 1981)
20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA

-THE ONE MILLIONTH DISC (JUNE 1981)
HEAVEN CAN WAIT

-THE 5 MILLIONTH DISC (JUNE 1982)
THE JAZZ SINGER

-THE 10 MILLIONTH DISC (JUNE 1983)
ROCKY III

-THE 15 MILLIONTH DISC (MARCH 1985)
GONE WITH THE WIND

-THE LAST PRODUCTION TITLE (JUNE 1986)
THE JEWEL OF THE NILE

IN ALL, SOME 16.4 MILLION DISCS
WERE PRODUCED BY R.C.A. AND
INCLUDED 1360 NTSC TITLES AND
277 EUROPEAN TITLES.
