I was reading DVD.ign.com and noticed the review of Dragon's Lair. I own the game and enjoyed it (nostalgia), but I'd love to see some games with a little more interactivity.
What are the interactive capabilities of standard DVD players? I'm not talking about consoles, NUON or any particular player, but the DVD standard. Would it be possible to make video games for DVD players that would go beyond choose-your-own-adventure type of games, even if only 8-bit quality?
no
:(
:lol:
I think adventure games like Snatcher might work on DVD.
Sewer Shark and Night Trap could work on DVD, if someone bothered to release them.
I would like them to release Braindead 13 on DVD as well.
I think you might be able to something more elaborate, perhaps like an old Zork game with some high-res pictures and FMV thrown in. I'm thinking of the old TSR D&D "Endless Quest" adventure books. I really loved "Return to Brookmere."

But then, maybe everyone who might want to play a game on occassion has a console....
yes but pretty much every game mentioned is either a choose-your-own-adventure, point-n-click, or fmv-type game which we all know can be done on a DVD player. When you mentioned a simple 8-bit game, I immediately thought of Super Mario Bros, Metroid, and the like which cannot be done.

That is what I meant. I thought perhaps they all have a chip that runs the menu screen, or a sound chip, or something that could be used in an unintended way to create simple games. I guess not.
