What a great story. Dragon's Lair and the other early Laser Disc games
were an interesting advancement; the gameplay was infuriating but the
graphics were amazing. For the price of bad gameplay (and a lot of
quarters), we got a glimpse of the kind of graphics work we would find
in future games. A lot of the (currently 30) comments here are about the audience factor
in video games. There's nothing quite like drawing a crowd in an arcade.
The arcades may be mostly gone, but the effects of an audience in video
games is still being studied. I spotted some related work in the ACM CHI
2014 proceedings: ACM CHI 2014:
"Audience Experience in Social Videogaming: Effects of Turn Expectation
and Game Physicality" Thirty Second Demo Video with paper Abstract:
