FMV was on the cutting edge about 10-11 years ago......it was a new gaming experience, and one that we all can look back at and laugh Quite frankly, many sega CD titles and 3D0 titles took and abused this technology, I think because it was a way to show that they were "different" than standard 16 bit games at the time. I think of all the games that were just slight improvements of genesis carts slapped with FMV. Dont get me wrong, I like to play games such as Dragons Lair and Cobra Command on my Sega CD, but the reason it is not around anymore is that games can do so much more. Instead of watching crappy FMV and "tapping a button at the correct split second" games now can generate(at least on the cartoon level) very detailed graphics with greatly enhanced control. Still, just yesterday, I got the urge to play Prize Fighter!!!
