I think Panic in the Park is FMV & Daedalus Encounter as well. Not sure because I haven't played it but I think I remember FMV screenshots on the box (which is packed away for moving)of the game, Chaos: A Fantasy Adventure Game (not to be confused with C.H.A.O.S.).

- Dark Side of The Moon
- The Crystal Skull
- Flash Traffic
- Aztek or Sacred Amulet
- Fork In The Tale
- Fox Hunt
- Silent Steel
- Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Series
- Dracula Unleashed
- Point of View
- Tender Loving Care
- Both Voyeur 1 and 2
- The Vampire Diaries (FMV drop-ins on pre-rendered graphics)
- The new Sydney Mystery
- Psychic Detective
- Urban Runner
- Lost In Time (I think)
and some I have forgotten right now. Laura

Jenny100, You are right about Aztek - I was thinking of Crstal Skull earlier and then got Aztek jumbled in there. I also checked my game list and remembered Double Switch and Night Tracks are FMV (though terrible games IMHO) I can't believe I omitted Spycraft ( a personal fave game) I also would think Return To Zork would qualify. It is like the Tex Murphy games. FMV characters dropped into graphic environments. Hell Cab is another game too. It's weird and actiony - but it was a household favorite for quite a while. As for Dracula Unleashed and Consulting Detective series, the re-mastered DVD versions require the software but not the originals. I have them for the MAC and PC now. The same applies to Silent Steel. There's an older original version and a re-mastered DVD version. All three of these games came out in the early to mid 90's pre-dating DVD technology I would think. POV and TLC either didn't require one or also came with a program on the CDRom. It's been a while since I played them both though - so I can't recall right off hand. I know I just installed and played both of them on my current system. Now I do have a DVD/CDRom so it may already have a compatable program on my PC - so I didn't notice. Laura

I thought any game that used "real" actors who were filmed, would qualify as an FMV game, whether they were "dropped" over CG backgrounds or not - it's just cheaper and easier (especially if you're doing a futuristic game) to use a blue-screen and put actors over pre-rendered backgrounds.

Most FMV/Interactive Movie games have real actors on such backgrounds. I'd say yes; real actors and anything else doesn't matter. That is my take on it; it's an opinion call. fanatic

Sorry to be a pain, but I don't understand what FMV really means! I see the "full motion video", but what does that mean? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

Frantic? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> I didn't play much of it when I did play it. I recall the first guy you came across on the street and the asian guy in the store on the right. I could have sworn they were real people. The game didn't appeal to me, so I uninstalled it. Anyone else play this one recently? The person in this screenshot doesn't look rendered to me. Rendered hair (among other things) wouldn't look like that. From an online review ... "The biggest problem I had with the graphics was repetitive talking heads. When a character is clicked on, the view moves in, and the player is treated to the head of a live actor and conversation strings to choose from." fanatic

And don't forget one of the very, very best, Gabriel Knight: The Best Within!! Also, the new game, The Omega Stone, has some FMV in it, as well. Hugs, Beth

Hold on a sec, I'm now not sure if The Beast Within counts, as it is 3rd person. Does that make a difference? I think Phantasmagoria was the same way. -Beth
