There was a time where FMV was supposed to be the future of gaming. During this awkward period in history what was your favorite or most tolerable FMV game and for what system? This one was mine.
What is your favorite FMV game from back in the day?

Psychic Detective on 3DO.
Tex Murphy.
All of them.
Return to Zork/Zork Nemesis/Zork Grand Inquisitor too

As long as you did not say Sewer Shark I can agree with almost any other pick.Originally Posted by celerystalker
Oh, my, no. I did almost say Lunacy on Saturn, though.
Always been crap at the things because it's all short term memorization which I'm a lost cause with ...but I will throw it to Dragon's Lair (with DL2 Timewarp and Space Ace on its heels.) I think MadDog McCree was too right? That was an alright FMV gun game. Mind you the stuff I'm listing are cartoons, but it's video with an option laid over it.
Wing Commander III had the best actors.

No doubt, Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell and John Rhys Davies. They lined up a hell of an acting cast for a video game of all things back when it was pretty unheard of, even that Rachel girl came from a porno background, and of course Maniac from Back to the Future fame Biff. There's a few others you can place a face to but not so much a name or a movie as well. They did return in WC4 too.
I'll throw Road Blaster out there. It's also the only (and, of course, unofficial) FMV game on the Super Nintendo that I'm aware of.
Also legitimately released on the Sega CD as "Road Avenger" which was probably the best way to play it until recently.

The only one I really remember that I enjoyed was Double Switch. It may have been one of my first Sega CD games. Wirehead was pretty fun to play as well.
Bury me with my money......*dies*
FMV games have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. They combine two of my greatest loves: Bad B-movies and video games. Some of my personal favorites were Fox Hunt, Corpse Killer, Ground Zero Texas, Burn Cycle, Wirehead, Double Switch, Space Pirates and Night Trap. So naturally two of my favorite systems to collect for are the Sega CD and 3DO. I've often wondered if the footage from these games still exists somewhere, waiting to be remastered for a new high-def generation! Or maybe the FMV scenes could just be cut into a continuous movie, that would be pretty cool to see... "American Laser Games presents a Digital Pictures production of a Steven Spielberg film..."
Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh!
I really liked Night Trap when it was released. Still do.
I also really like Jurassic Park for sega cd.
I like Night Trap on 3DO a lot. Also, while not my favorite, Battle Heat on PC-FX was awesomely unique, being a fighter where 2 players react to each other's inputs.
I wasn't aware of that SNES port, looks really good.
Just to name a game not mentioned yet, there's The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery.
Mostly animated ones dragons lair 1&2,space ace,ninja hayate,time gal and road avenger.
Would it be acceptable to also list things that were partial FMV, like with actors? If so I think stuff like 7th Guest, 11th Hour and Phantasmagoria would fit nicely in this topic.
I'm going to have to go with my first FMV game, I've always liked it even though I never managed to get more than halfway through it - Pyramid Patrol on the Pioneer Laseractive. Sadly the only other game I have for the Laseractive is Rocket Coaster. At least having the Sega Pak meant I could play Sega CD games for FMV goodness.
I'm going to have to say Namco's Star Blade would be my second choice. A lot of it was spooled off a laserdisk player with foreground polygon elements added in, so it kind of counts.
Strahl on 3DO. I know its just an anime Dragons Lair clone but it blew me away the first time I saw it just like Dragons Lair, Space Ave, etc. Did back in the day.
Road Blaster and Lunacy are both great fmv games for the Saturn.

I legitimately enjoyed the 32X version of Night Trap. Time Gal is probably my favorite animated one, but Road Avenger looks like it would be up there, too, from what I've seen. I've never played it yet. Actually, I wonder if I own it...
hmm.....
Yep, looks like a I have a boxed copy on my shelf. I just night give it a try this weekend.
I also used to sort of like the 3DO version of Brain Dead 13.
