Mentioned earlier, the laseractive was an interesting concept - just way too pricey than if you had just bought a straight ld player and the corresponding consoles. You would have missed the ld based games - no biggie since there were so few - the only two I have any interest in were the J.B. Harold games (Blue Chicago Blues and Manhattan Requiem) - but other people might have liked some of the few other games.
If it had been released later it likely would have been possible to drive down the cost - but at the time I suspect it was just beyond the technological capability to produce them at a reasonable cost.

I have one with the four basic pacs - but I picked them up used at a fraction of the cost . Neat toys but that is about it. (I did spare the world a lot of pain and suffering though - I have not picked up a karaoke pac.
