- Dragon's Lair was a video game with extremely high fidelity graphics in the 80's.
- Every other game was procedurally rendered, but this game had full motion video with high-quality hand-drawn animation.
- The way it worked was it was a LaserDisc where it could seek around and play different prebaked videoclips based on the (limited) decisions the player made.
- Like an illustrated, live Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book.
- The high-fidelity graphics obscured that the underlying state space was tiny; more like a low-fi labyrinth with pretty pixels on top.
- Still, it was a classic Pizza Fax kind of demo; it previewed the future inevitable state of hifi video game graphics.
