The Weirdest Video Games Were Hacks

A look back at obscure late-1980s video games that hacked existing media formats—VHS tapes and video discs—to create interactive experiences. Covers the Action Max light-gun system, the unreleased Control-Vision system co-developed with Steve Wozniak, and the laserdisc classics Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. The piece frames these as creative hacks that repurposed video technology for gameplay, despite the notoriously poor gameplay loops caused by track-switching delays, and notes an emulator exists for Dragon's Lair today.
