''Mad Dog McCree'' is the first Live-action Video Game released by American Laser Games . It originally appeared as an Arcade Shooting Game in 1990 . It gained a lot of attention for its real-video style, baring similarities to recent Hollywood Westerns . Players assume the first-person role of "the stranger", a nameless individual who rolls into town and finds that the mayor's daughter has been kidnapped by a gang of outlaws working for Mad Dog McCree. The arcade game has been released in three different versions, using a Laserdisc Player , a 3DO and, more recently, a PC based system to provide the video. Various home editions were released throughout the 90s, including a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer edition and even a version that could be played on a DVD Player using a DVD remote controller. GLITCHES Many players found that the 3DO edition of the game was easy to cheat. Whenever an enemy popped up and shot the player too quickly, the player could just as easily pause the game, select "Continue", and find that the game would jump back a couple seconds in the video ''before'' the enemy arrived. This would allow the player a second chance at life, who would then be prepared for the enemy to appear in the same spot as before and effortlessly take him out. Later versions of the arcade game weren't without their problems either. In some builds the laserdisc player was replaced with a customised 3DO, which allowed for more video. However, these new units proved unreliable, as the seek motors in the CD-ROM drive burned out rapidly. |
