LGR - Hologram Time Traveler - Arcade, PC, DVD Game Review

Whoa, freaking holograms! It's time to get all futuristic up in here with Time Traveler, the holographic arcade game from Sega and the creator of classic Laserdisc game, Dragon's Lair!

When this came out in the arcades i was just a kid.. And let me tell you.. there was nothing like it.. it was amazing..      Cabinet and style of the machine was unforgettable.   Nobody had ever seen a 3d game like this b4..  
thx for the review   
and LGR your bang on !! its a mass quarter stealer

5:25 Did he just murder 2 random innocent guys playing baseball in cold blood? What a hero.

I played this game once. It was $1 when a quarter was still the standard and $.50 would get you a sit-down console ride. It was pulled pretty quick out of the small arcade I frequented.

I came across this game for the first time a few years ago at an arcade. It still feels so futuristic. I had no idea what it was. I died instantly. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.

[JosephJoestur]

wow, he pops up in the middle of a baseball game, and just shoots the players

I've literally been watching your game reviews for 4 days straight now and I just finished watching every single one. I swear, you could talk about anything and i'd be completely interested. Keep on going with your kick-ass awesomeness! (:

I used to go with my parents to Vegas growing up (age 10-16) and those huge arcades back then in the casinos used to have this game and man was I blown away. Great review. Love Retroware btw, had no idea you were affiliated.

[GorcPicX]

The music from Kyrandia 2 was a nice touch. I love your videos as nostalgia crashes into me. Ahhh, the good 'ol days.

These I've been showing are at the Galloping Ghost in Brookfield, Illinois.

I remember when this came to the local mall's arcade when I was a kid and people were amazed by the effect.

Years ago I saw this next to a Simpsons arcade game, it didn't even cross my mind to play it, I just played the Simpsons one over and over and I don't regret that.

[vwestlife]

That arcade cabinet looks like it was converted from a washing machine!

Why does Cowboy guy shoot everybody!? He kills them even when they're running away, and he just straight up murdered those two baseball players! This game is sick and sadistic!

[SilverSurfer]

I'll never forget when I saw this arcade game at my local mall one summer. I spent so much money on that game, it was so cool. I always wondered why there weren't other Hologram games...

[leesamardzija]

At least modern games tell you what button to press in the QTE's. Back in the days of Dragons Lair and Space Ace it was trial and error and the loading times on a Commodore Amiga were horrendous. These were the kind of games you'd put on for 5 minutes just to show off the graphics to your mates.

The only laser-disc based game I knew of as a kid was the JOURNEY band game.

[roebuck]

I never played this game, but I distinctly remember seeing it in an arcade in the mid-90s. Since I didn't play it, (as I was a kid and had probably spent all my quarters on other games by then) I didn't know what it was at the time, but the 3D effect caught my eye and left a strong impression. It looked so futuristic and impressive, and set my mind wondering about holographic games that could take place in everyday environments - basically anticipating AR games.

Holy Crap! I remember seeing this at my bowling alley back in the early 90's. It had a big Adults Only sign on it and we "kids" would get in trouble for just watching the demo reel haha! Great to see there are still working models out there! What a blast from the past to see this!

[xliquidflames]

I *did* play this back in the day and watching this video was enough nostalgia for me. No need to seek it out. Thanks. Great video. I had forgotten all about this thing.

[ProjectKhopesh]

Oh, man, I remember this one. I've not been able to find it since I saw it in the early 90s. Thanks for posting this! I was beginning to think that I'd imagined it. I mean... it's not a great game, but the arcade display *was* fascinating tech.
