Did you know one of first live action video games was played on a Laserdisc system? Before CD games like Mad Dog McCree, Night Trap, and other console and PC live action games, laserdisc games were a thing. Unfortunately, laserdisc technology was expensive and was quickly replaced by cheaper magnetic recording media like VCR and CD’s.

Welcome to Maze Mania. It was one of the first laserdisc games, and the folks over at Don’t Make Us Bored invited fel_temp_reparatio to hook up his actual 1980’s era laserdisc and play through one of the 4 games on the disc (They play Maze Mania at 1:54:00 into the video).

The laserdisc plays a live action video sequence for a short time, and then like a choose your own adventure book, the video stops and you are presented with a trivia question. If you answer right (by typing in the right fame number of where to continue), the video story continues. Answer wrong, and your story ends.

The low-budget productions, bonkers plots (like men in monkey suits jump out of piles of hay in westerns), and cheesy acting are definite a treat for people that like corny stories.
