full motion video gamesadventure games
One of the two FMV (full motion video) games from 1980s in the series called MysteryDisc.
Wealthy Derrick Reardon is murdered in his Long Island mansion. With several suspects still on the estate Detective Stew Cavanaugh starts detective.frey-united.com/' target='_blank'>investigation to find the killer.
In 1980s full motion video games (FMV) looked like a perfect way of mixing new medium of video games and the old one, movies. Hardware was still struggling to render realistic characters, so it was an interesting compromise between interactive novels and movies. Real actors were playing scenes that were later used to build comprehensive story based on decisions made by the player. Unfortunately this narrative had its limitations - most of the decisions had marginal influence on the story itself, it was not immersive, but it was something new. MysteryDisc: Murder, Anyone? however, actually had 16 different endings, which meant that the game actually could be re-played after finishing it once, which was interesting detail.
Of course, like most of FMV games, this one also had limited interface and interactions available, which was behind demise of the genre. Still, among FMVs MysteryDisc: Murder, Anyone? was not that bad really.
