Retro Game of the Day! M.A.C.H. 3 - by Ron Alpert

Now here was a game that really impressed me. Laserdisc games were quite a spectacle in the early 1980s, as titles like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace looked so phenomenally better than anything else available at the time, with one major caveat; these games were essentially playing back one of two sequences ("continue" or "die"), so the gameplay was fairly limited and not terribly controllable. It was a fair enough trade-off for such unbelievable visuals.
