Arcade laserdisc game translations on DVD

[chadtower]

Anyone have any of these? I just got Time Traveler and I just can't get it to work well. Any part involving more than one button press, which is any movement after the very first one, won't work. I suspect the response time on my remote is just not fast enough. Anyone else have experience with these?

I don't know about Time Traveler; But you can find Dragon's Lair (the original arcade version) along with Space Ace for $50 each and play them on your standard DVD player. Yes you can play them using your remote control, they also have an automatic mode where you can just sit back and watch. You can find them at Video Stores that carry a lot of specialty DVDs otherwise you can just order them from your favorite store.

You can buy them a lot cheaper than $50 each. A LOT cheaper. I'm wondering more about whether or not they actually work. The Time Traveler DVD does not really work on my DVD player no matter how many times I try it. The remote just isn't fast enough...

FWIW Chad, I had the same problem.

I tried the game on my PS2 though and it works fine.
I'm not sure exactly why that is, but I suspect it has do with the delay with the remote, as you suggested.
Especially with Time traveller where you have to react so quickly.

How about if you stick it into a PS2 and just use the controller (don't plug in a remote adapter) to play? It would seem that that way you'd get a fast, hard-wired connection and you could use a D-pad instead of remote buttons.

[Edit:] Yeah, what ghsbbq said.

It's a good idea. If I had a ps2 or xbox I'd give it a shot.
