A lot of what we now appreciate (and often take for granted) on DVD is actually thanks to the Laserdisc format of a few years ago.Yet, the history books and home video discussions of the past few years seem curiously silent on this point...

Source: www.dragons-lair-project.comProbably one of the most common prototype laser disc games. Many laser discs for this game are in circulation, but unfortunately no ROM images exist. We can speculate that the discs were pressed right before the coin-op crash in 1984, so work on the game stopped before ROM images were created. The game was most likely to be released as a dedicated cabinet and a conversion kit for Astron Belt and Galaxy Ranger. Below are a few video clips taken from the laser disc.

This is a laserdisc player that was pulled from the Spaceship Earth ride at Disney world in Orlando FL. It was computer controlled to play video sequences for the ride. The ride has since been upgraded I'm assuming digital video stored on a server. After a few hours of tweaking & adjusting the potentiometers this 26 year old player worked like new! These sony machines are definitely work horses it was in use at disney all day everyday for around 10 years, It even had the laser replaced once as someone left a note & date of the replacement, Laser tubes are typically good for 10,000 hours. I have two of these that run like new & plenty of replacement parts. Would be pretty cool to see in a museum one day.These are pretty easy to service, The whole laser lens unit is held in with 4 big philips screws So taking out the whole unit is really easy. The motor, laser & lens all comes out as a whole. I removed the unit to clean the x,y, scan mirrors & the other optical componets.DOWNLOAD: The high quality video here:Sony LDP-1000 Laserdisc Player.mp4 (31.35 MB) http://www.mediafire.com/?eumxgefttxy

This is footage from an arcade Laser Disc game prototype produced in the mid-1980s. Essentially a feature-length interactive text adventure, the SPECTRE FILES project was designed to capitalize on the short-lived laserdisc game craze.

This is from Pioneer's first demo disc from 1980. I had to cut out about 5 minutes of this to fit the time limit, but I have the complete version on Google Video and Stage6.Video bitrate is at 256, to get the sound in stereo I had to move that down to 64, 96 forced it to mono. I'll see if I can inch it up a little more as it sounds a bit compressed here but still better than mono!

Shows the automatic dual-side play capability of the Pioneer CLD-2950 LaserDisc player. The laser unit is on a sledge that can be moved to the other (upper) side of the disc by a turning axis. At the same time, the disc needs to be stopped and spun in the other direction.In the middle of the video the fast-forward function of the player was used that's why the head is moving rapidly.

As a demonstration video for my blog, I created this video which demonstrates the misc. functions of the disc loading mechanism of a Laserdisc Player, model Denon LA2300 (nearly identical to Pioneer CLD-D515). It shows different drive functions like disc loading, playback, side change, chapter skip, stop, eject, ... always explained by a short German introduction.

This is the opening on the japanese english laserdisc that was released, I believe, for educational purposes. It includes animation that was not used in the film and an english audio track with japanese subtitles. Sorry for the low quality, but only copy I have, VHS. If anyone with the LD or better copy would like to share, I would be eternally grateful.
