I don't think so. The Laserdisc games were produced in that format. In the case of Dragon's Lair, the game was a LD originally, and was then later on converted to other formats. LD games were not a gaming system so much, as a type of disc that games could be stored on.

the major problem with them is that all the graphics are already set in stone in the game, you basically just watch the game, hit a button at the right time and hope you get to watch the good animation, rather thatn the dying animation.[COLOR="Silver"]

I don't agree. Although, they were not as interactive as some types of games, they had graphics that were literally years (decades) ahead of anything else out at the time. I still play Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. It's more about completing the animated story than a hard core action game. Maybe not for everyone, but it did bring an experience different from anything else.
