What is an LD Game?!

Laser disc games were a genre of games which were popular in arcades in the mid-1980s, and used laser discs to display animated and live action visuals to allow for graphics far beyond what video games were capable of at the time. They mostly involved the player watching an animated video while reacting at key points with joystick and/or button inputs to advance the game, or fail, and witness the wide variety of possible failures.
