RE: Time Gal, Full Motion Video LaserDisc Game, Ported to Commodore Amiga
You dated me on this post, as I was born in 86. I thinly remember laser discs being used for one thing. When teachers were sick and substitutes had no idea what they were doing with the class. In came the large rolling cart, with its three tiers: one to hold the VCR, one to hold the laser disc player, and one to hold the massive CRT monitor. Those massive "CD's" changed the way I think about the physical world, laser discs paved the way for epic Blue Planet 2 in 4k. I know way off topic, but I had to share my notable laser disc memory.
Not off topic at all, at least as far as I am concerned. When I was in school that school received a donation of CD-i machines with a bunch of educational discs, and that hard to find FMV expansion cart. One teacher was cool and would let the students that had Video CD movies and stuff bring them in and we watched those. One kid, in particular, had Dragon's Lair and the teacher had each student take turns playing it.
The CD-i was easier to check out than the VCR so we had time with it more. Fun times.
