What Was Your First Home Game With Pre-Recorded Video?
Like that other thread about speech - What was the first game you played with Pre-recorded video? Did it blow you away?
Me - Amiga with Dragon's Lair. I bought the computer just to play that game!!!And my favorite - Space Ace. "You can not win!" I thought it was awesome to watch pre-recorded cartoons on my home computer!!!
Don't know how they squeezed all that video on just 5 megabytes of floppies.

Hmm... I _think_ it was sewer shark for Sega CD, but I could be forgetting something. The first good game was Spider-man for Sega CD... it was cartoon video, but original cartoon footage, and FMV none the less... oh ya, and Sonic CD. Man, excluding Sewer Shark, the Sega CD sure did rock back then!
Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective. It came with the launch Sega CD. You know, that was a really cool game if you got into it. It required a lot on your part. You had to pay attention during the videos to the clues and leads people gave you. I often played the game with a notepad.
That would probably be the opening movie in Sonic 3D Blast for the Genesis. I remember being pretty impressed by it at the time.
Collector of 1,673 strategy guides, and BlazBlue ain't one of them.
Mine would have to be NBA JAM for the Megadrive, it was the coolest thing my friends and I had ever seen and loved it!, (Emuaust whips out a copy and starts playing).
I do remeber Sonic 3D and was super impressed with that, its funny to think how long this has came over the last 10 to 12 years.
Also NBA Jam
The Need For Speed SE (PC).
Personally, it was probably Astal on the Saturn. I didn't have a CD system until then. The first time I saw video on console was definitely Sherlock Holmes for the Sega CD.
Woah! How'd they fit it in a cart?Originally Posted by DonMarco

The first game I owned with video was worms on the Saturn. Until then I didn't have a Cd Based System. Since then I've picked up Dragons lair ont he Sega CD that would be my oldest game with Video
I thin it was Wing Commander for the 3DO.

I think for me it was also Sherlock Holmes on the Sega CD. I also agree that it isn't a bad game if you really get into it. I still throw it on now and then and it makes me smile just as it did when I got it in '92About 3 years ago, I got the DVD version of Sherlock Holmes and when I played it, it was somehow odd. Although with the video now being full screen and dvd quality, it somehow made the impact less on me than the Sega CD version. The other thing the DVD did was show how bad the acting was sometimes. Honestly, for all its graininess, I still prefer the Sega CD version. Playing Sherlock Holmes again on the Sega CD made me feel like playing through Dracula Unleashed again and I feel the same with it too now
Night Trap on Sega CD,
or those 80s PC games, David Rolfe Secret Agent, Mean Streets (also C-64), and that game with Margot Kidder in it.
Project Firestart on C-64, does that count?
Pre-recorded video on a Commodore??? I scoff. You serious?

well not really video, but cut-scenes. I guess it don't count. Mind you video on C-64 is possible
Yeah true. Delete the OS, BASIC, and just about everything else - you get 0.05 megs free - a whole stunning 3 seconds.
Love my old Commie but let's be realistic. Not designed for TV or movie viewing! Or photo-realism. Thought Samantha Fox had green-purple skin until I got Amiga & saw what she really looked like. Wow.
FF8? That's all my memory can tell me right now.

same for me Wing Commander 3 on 3DO damn I luved that game the PSX port was lacking
Dragons Lair on 3DO at about the same time
I wasnt fortunate enough to have any CD based systems before that although I had played them at various friends and other ppls houses.
Back in the day I would have sold my soul for a Turbo-graphix-16 CD add-on since I did have a new Turbo for about a whole 6 months.
I remember being VERY impressed with Sonic CD and Lunar on Sega CD also.
NBA Jam for the SEGA Genesis.
Haha that 3 second half time clip was amazing at the time!
