New love for an old system: The Pioneer Laseractive!

Yep, it's my new baby! I love, love, love those great gimmicky shooters! You know: The ones with the real time ships and FMV backgrounds! Yeah, I love that stuff! That great cheesy illusion like you're flying through CG rendered invironments, accompanied by mosty bad plotlines, and even worse english acting (thank god for language selection).

Yep, I miss the old days of being impressed (at first) by this form of technology. Anyone remember the original Silpheed? Crappy shooter, but at first, it rigged!!! Well, Laseractive is full of this stuff. Some bad, some good, and some horribly short. The plus side: it's mostly cheap!

Now, the games I bought my Laseractive for: FMV action-reaction games A-LA Dragon's Lair style. Never played Dragon's lair? Shame on you! Go buy the 20th anniversay BOX with Space ACE and Dragon's Lair 2 included (they pause in-between every move though)! Anyway, the game I bought my system for: Road Prosecutor, AKA Road Blaster, Road Avenger. The grand Daddy of all FMV games. Nothing like taking out the evil 80's road gange "The Black Crows" in revenge for them killing your wife, and on the wedding day for that matter! Bastards! I will crush you!!!

Yep, bad-ass game. Not to mention Triad Stone AKA Strahl. My second fave FMV game. Fook Sewer Shark and Night trap. Play real FMV games!! Plus I get to play laserdiscs, and watch My THX Star Wars trilogy (pre-Special Edition, but screw you! I still dig the Special editions, minus a few moments) over and over again with no risk of the tape breaking (I hate VHS, even though I grew up with it. Give me DVD and Laserdisc please). Not to mention the only true version of Vampire Hunter D: 1985 Un-edited "Videodisc".

Yep. I'm a dork. Back to the Road.

Ground Zero Texas is the greatest FMV game ever made.



Ever.

No, it isn't.

I have a laseractive with a pac-s10, a pac-s1 and a pac-n1. Unfortuntly I only have the game High roller battle. :P
Must get games such as vajra, timegal, Road Prosecutor, strahl and dare I hope? One of those MYST prototypes.

Actually the best shooter is Vajra 2, unfortunately it's rarity is on the same scale as Time Gal, it's a shame that TurboGrafx didn't do well here, check Hans Reutter's website for info on this game, I actually lent him my LDs for scanning and reviews.

I'd love a nice set up but im far to chicken. I'm a massive fmv fan, Road Avenger is a badasss game, tho obviously im stuck with the Mega cd version until i stump up for the Saturn double pack w/Thunderstorm FX)........i'm having a crap time looking for Strahl on the 3DO, i think there may be a Saturn version but i want English Language.

vincewy here knows more about the laseractive than anyone else I know.

I've only played Trian Stone but I have about 6 or 7 other new games that I just haven't decided to break the seal on. Though I am sure they might be fun on some level I doubt that they would captivate me for too long. =]

So far, I really dig Hyperion. Reminds me a great deal of Iridion, only better (but not as good as Iridion 2). I'm cool with the "In the cockpit shooters, but I like seeing my ship most of the time.
