You know, I never minded FMV games. I know some people hated them but I find them to be an interesting area of gaming evolution, at least that is how I see it. I wasn't into the PC platform back when FMV games were big. My first FMV games were probably on Sega CD, yeah it was choppy, grainy and small will a lousy colour palette but damn, it was real video and I loved it! Hell I even loved the pack in game Sewer Shark! Recently I have enjoyed it even more on my 3D0 with much better video quality. In fact I am really enjoying different FMV titles on my 3D0. It was interesting that with the extra storage capacity of the CD that companies figured the best way to utilize the format was by using video. To me there is something about playing a gun game and shooting real live (although admittedly BAD LOL!) actors compared to shooting at graphics. An interesting moment in gaming history that will likely never see any type of popularity again, although once we have true HOLO DECKS wont that be kind of like Ultimate HI DEF FMV?

As always Bill a great article that reminded me of some more interesting times in gaming history!

Oldschool games, some people just don't "get it"...
