I’ve never played a single FMV that I’ve liked. In fact, I was *so* turned off at all that crap on Sega CD (rented, my friend had a Genesis) that it made me so weary for the next gen of gaming I didn’t get a PlayStation until 1998, when my fears about FMV being “the future” were allayed.

You're actually not the first I've heard this from. There were quite a few of my friends that voiced similar concerns and waited, blaming the switch to CD media for gaming. In fact, it's one of the reasons many of my friends bought an N64 instead as it remained cartridge based.

I think the way FMVs eventually played out was the right path and I was pretty happy to see those awesome videos of the super cars in the first couple Need for Speed games. There was also a notable hidden FMV in The Lost World: Jurassic Park for PS1 and Saturn where Jeff Goldblum talks to the player telling him to get outside and get a date after having the stink blown off of them. Pretty funny.

Does a point and click adventure game classify as a full motion video game? I've played a few of those too. but the only game I played and completed multiple times was another PC game called
"Lost Eden" now that was a good game in my opinion, It was actually the only FMV/point and click adventure game I liked.


other FMV video games I've played that were point and click. was Police Quest 5: SWAT and Star Trek Borg, now Star Trek Borg I never even got past the first cutscene and all I ever did was start a new game then get a game over lol.

I didn't know what to do, I tried mashing all the mouse buttons everywhere but still as soon as the game began. I tried to play it but I kept failing the mission over and over again at the first cutscene believe it or not

There are loads of point and click games that use FMV from the 90s.  Star Trek: Borg is a prime example.

I don't recall playing a FMV game at all, but I always remember Night Trap because the controversy and because sincerely I have learned to like it, if Konami's classic "Lethal Enforces" is considered a FMV game, that's one game I have always loved.

Lastly, I remember classics like Phantasmagoria and Harvester, the last one I gifted it to a friend because I know he hates that sort of controversial game, so I thought it was perfect for him.


Heh... heh...
