I was checking out some newer episodes that were posted of the classic computing public television show "Computer Chronicles" and I found this particular episode with coverage of the RDI Halcyon and the Pioneer MSX laserdisc game system. I don't recall seeing this footage before and the pacing of the show is kind of slow, but it's the only footage I have ever seen of Rick Dyer actually demonstrating the system. It's kind of awkward but interesting. Check it out...

CD's are "virtually indestructible."
Lol. Too bad an in-tact CD doesn't mean it's readable.
I love these old computer shows. I get to consider their original intentions and hopes 20+ years later.

Heh, this reminds me of Look Around You. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diD2lr_BGcU)

I love how the voice-recognition doesn't work!

Also, could there be a slower method of input that this?
