Blu-Ray and DVD games

Post by noiseredux »

Did you guys know that Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II and Space Ace have been released on Blu-Ray? Well it made me wonder what other games like this have been released on Blu-Ray and DVD. Can anyone think of others?

DRAGON'S LAIR ON BLU RAY!? WOAH ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Apparently it's even been given a very nice looking new HD transfer to boot. Damn I might need to go get this!

The Best Dragons Lair with decent controls
The Dragons Lair Trilogy on the Wii also got a video upgrade over the original Laser Disc. I prefer it over the DVD or BlueRay since there is no pause during a chapter access and an Arcade Stick can be used. The Wii and newer home video versions have Play and Watch modes.

I found this thread after searching for posts about Who Shot Johnny Rock, which I just picked up for DVD. It's pretty bad, but kind of kitschy bad, so I don't mind.

Anyway, noiseredux, I think this is a project for you:

It's a DVD choose your own adventure slasher flick.

The AnimePlay series of visual novels are DVDs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnimePlay

Most of these were released during the early-mid 2000s and the game instructions recommend using a standard DVD player or PS2. Some of them are quite fun, Amazon has several still in stock.

GameFAQs has "DVD Player" listed as a game system, so you can probably find some more stuff there:

Holy crap I remember seeing these advertised a bit when I used to like, read Newtype USA and whatnot.
