‘Combining Art with Science’. Some fantastic vintage news clips of Rick Dyer, creator of the classic animated arcade laser disc game Dragon’s Lair showcase his new technologies such as the Halcyon speech recognition computer and it’s implementation in a new, secret, interactive video laser disc epic which sadly never made it into production. The average sitting time was to be 3 hours… Perhaps wishful thinking for the parents of today. ‘We are estimating you’ll be able to play the game 20 hours a week for 6 months before you will have explored the entire world’.
Why did nobody ever make a video game which gets annoyed when you leave the room for a snack?
