rob morrison“time traveler”: a bad game with bad holograms written by geoffrey on 02/21/08
excited by r2d2 in star wars, there was a time in the late 80s when we assumed holograms would be the future of everything. holographic mail, holographic movies, holographic holograms (holograms that hologramize other holograms, to give you twice the realism). the list goes on and on.
however, as the sega arcade game time traveler proved in 1991, holograms are bullshit. at least, the way they were being done back then, with mirrors and lameness. whenever you tilted your head slightly, there goes the hologram. top that off with the fact that it’s another ‘sega-uses-terrible-live-actors‘ game and you’ve got yourself a formula bound to kill the hologram dreams of a generation.
thanks, time traveling cowboy. btw, why did that guy’s head explode when you shot him?
what the game was really like to play, after the jump:

Yeah, that game dose seem pretty lame, but I would toatally play it just to see what it was like. Sometimes holograms work, and sometimes they dont. All I know is one day, holograms will probably take over the world, so get ready now.

Haha, thanks for using my Moon Stage level for your video, and yeah, it really was a “hologram.” Now that I have a recorder that doesn’t slow the game down, I might record more of it in the future.
