Did you know one of first live action video games was played on a Laserdisc <\/a>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Maze Mania<\/a>. It was one of the first laserdisc games, and the folks over at Don’t Make Us Bored<\/a> invited fel_temp_reparatio<\/a> 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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
