Sega Introduces Time Traveler - First Hologram Video Game

submitted by Phreezdryd

1 decade 2 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

Footage from the 1991 introduction of Time Traveler by Sega, including comments from then-Sega coin-op president Tom Petit and showing the game installed in one of its test locations.

The game, designed by Rick Dyer, earned well upon release but failed to have a long lifespan. In this footage you'll hear of some of the big plans there were for this technology. Upon the introduction of Street Fighter II the game found itself an afterthought.

Holy crap... I remember playing this game in Universal Studios in California. Wow, memories.

There was so much disingenuous marketing hype coming out of Sega in these days. This was the "blast processing" era.. Man that Sega president has some great hair, but his schtick kills me. This game is not a hologram any more than the Tupac hologram was a hologram. Holograms are 3D. This is just projecting video onto glass obscured by other glass. And the game was beyond lame, like a really bland, slow and unresponsive, even more unfair version of Dragon's Lair.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Forgot about this one - because it was a pretty forgettable game.

Maybe I was younger when I ran into it. Cause I sure as hell remembered it. Granted I'm fairly sure I was under 10 and seeing a "hologram" was pretty neato back then.

Looks like they forgot to make it good
