The article glosses over LaserDisc's use in arcades and videogames. It probably would've been worth mentioning its use in the popular arcade game, Dragon's Lair

  I think half my paper route money went to that game... that and Gauntlet (Wizard needs food badly).

    Gauntlet was the first simultaneous multi-player game I remember. The first time playing it with 3 other friends was "one of those things" growing up that I'll never forget. Something different about it with all four people crowding around the same screen vs playing with many more people isolated at home across a network

  I still feel burned about how I put a hard-earned loonie into a Dragon's Lair machine and immediately died. At least at Street Fighter I got a few rounds in. Dragon's Lair was beautifully animated, innovative, and absolutely not for me. I'm not sure if it's a game, to be honest. :) It's fun to look back at old tech, seeing the ideas that didn't quite land.
