Hi there, wow not posted anything for a while but have heard all of the excellent podcasts you guys have put out, anyways i was in my local gamestation the other day when i spotted (and purchased) Mad dog Mccree and Space pirates by American Laser Games for my 3DO and instantly recalled the first time i saw these games in the arcades. I was around 12 the first time i saw Mad dog Mccree and was obviously amazed by what i saw, live action on a huge screen where i could actually be a cowboy and shoot at other real cowboys, wow. But after pumping in all my coins and walking away a little dissapointed that i couldnt actually get anywhere cause it was so damn hard (or because i sucked at it ) i never really got very far in to the game . anyway , it was fun to play them again even though they are very limited and a lot more comical now than when i was 12, the acting is hilarious and the gameplay sucks a little even with the light gun as they only recorded 1 death for each of the cast, but it was cool to get through the games and find out what happened next and stuff. I know the whole interface was a little dodgy back then but maybe they could do this kind of thing a lot better now though i guess if time has tought us anything its that good acting in live action games/ cut scenes is asking a hell of a lot.
