Message: [QUOTE="OpenVMS, post: 173861, member: 98480"] At the time, people were so enamored by anything that wasn't a straight up sprite in video games. It's hard to imagine now, but FMV was sold as [I]the future of video gaming[/I]. Anyone that spent a couple of minutes playing any one of these knows how fast the novelty wears off. When you combine this with the totally crap video quality on some of the platforms (like the SegaCD) it makes the trend even more confusing. Needless to say, the FMV trend got big and disappeared pretty quickly. Other than historical curiosity, not many of these games have a lasting fanbase. [automerge]1744736436[/automerge] One thing that greatly added to this was this happened in a pre-internet era. The same boys that were going crazy for [I]Night Trap[/I] were the ones trying to sneak the Sears' catalog off to their bedroom to get even a hint of nudity. It can't be overstated how much easier it is as a teenager to access pictures of totally naked or semi-clothed women now vs. then. [/QUOTE]
