Well,
actually they have made this...

EDIT: it was part of the Wario party game thing, where you have to do lots of different movements rapidly.

hehe I like it
You know why? It's actually following the compo brief and is funny.

So I clicked it.

PS: "Brief" pfffft.

I know what you mean, very few of the entries fit the brief.

That 2nd frame reminds me of that terrible Laserdisc game in the 80's - Dragon's Lair, wasn't it?
( Dixipoos Bye Bye Blackbird, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 18:46, archived)

I don't remember that one, I'm afraid.
Wait a minute, Laserdisc "game"? I didn't even know there was such a thing.

"...and was played so heavily that many machines often broke due to the strain of overuse".

I've started inserting my own mental "citation needed" notes when reading Wikipedia.
( The Hedgehog From Hell should be drowned like a superfluous kitten, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 18:57, archived)

Oh it was well known for killing
the laserdisc players. It was only any good in the arcades.
The later versions were on Amiga and were superb. In fact I might just look for the games for an emulator and have a little play.
I swear, in the early 80's, going from 'defender' being about as good as it got to suddenly seeing DL was like man discovering god in a cave.

Well, yes I'm with you there :D
The first time I saw it being played I just stood there staring at it thinking "this is the future" - until I realised how one played it, then I was heavily disappointed

edit: I just accidentally resized an image to 150,000 pixels wide and my PC just shat itself
( Dixipoos Bye Bye Blackbird, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:04, archived)

yeah
it was a bit disappointing when you realised that you were just watching a cartoon where, if you were very lucky, you pressed a few buttons in the right sequence to see the next part of the cartoon. But still astounding to see when it came out.
I know for a fact that on my first ever visit to the Trocadero this was the first game I played. ( but quickly moved on to the G-Loc 360 and Formula 1 simulators )

Well, it was about time the released it in some home-playable form with the technology that they have today
Technically, one could play it with a DVD remote control though

Nice :)
( Dixipoos Bye Bye Blackbird, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:21, archived)

that's been done I'm sure it has...

( discomeats lives like a windrammer!, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:52, archived)

yeah it's been on HD DVD
a while
( Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:57, archived)

Got it on DVD from Poundland.
That's the price of two games on the original when it came out...
( joefish wonders if planting 3 trees offsets enough methane, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 20:10, archived)

it was broken in the arcades
99% of the time

it was the most likely to be completely fucked of all laserdisc games in arcades as I recall
( discomeats lives like a windrammer!, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:47, archived)

be quiet chump! ;)

( Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:56, archived)

hah!


and that's what I think!
( discomeats lives like a windrammer!, Sat 21 Feb 2009, 19:59, archived)

Dragon's Lair was ace
when it came out. There was simply no other technology to match it. It did cost you a fortune in the arcade if you got any of the pre-defined moves wrong and had to pay to start again.
