So...just waxing nostalgia here.

I was reading the thread about the porn game for the Kinect...and thought what games would be cool with the Kinect (not porn).

I remembered this game:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Traveler_%28video_game%29

I contributed quite heavily to their early success. Played it for HOURS.

But...with the advent of 3D becoming so popular...the only real area to explore would be the holographic (even simulated like this game).

Tie that in with a good motion controller, and you could have simulated fight scenes & combat, with the user actually required to do the moves directly.

For a good holographic interface, it might be required to have a special room designed for it...but it could be a new future for arcades.

yeah once the computers in the games get a wee bit faster things will start to take off like crazy.

The UI on Time Traveller was soooooo bad. I still remember seeing it the first time and thinking "Whoa cool!". That is untill I paid the whole dollar to try it and realised it was terrible. Very cool concept, way ahead of it's time but terribad to play.

yeah...it was much like Dragon's Lair that way (same creator)

the premise was less about controlling a character...and more along the lines of "choose your own adventure".

After reading the Wiki on it though...I was disheartened on the actual technology of it.
Apparently it wasn't so much a hologram, as a reflected image off some fancy mirrors.
