A [[LaserDisc]] video game is an [[arcade emulators|arcade]] game that uses pre-recorded video (either live-action or animation) played from a [[wikipedia:LaserDisc|LaserDisc]]. The first LaserDisc video game was Sega's
[http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/pages/ab.asp Astron Belt] released in 1983. The genre was popularized by [http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/pages/dl.asp Dragon's Lair] released shortly after in the same year. The usage of LaserDiscs provided graphics close to an animated or live-action film which was vastly ahead of other arcade games at the time. However, with the drawback of limited interactivity compared to regular arcade games.

=== Comparisons ===
*'''[[DAPHNE]]''' is the primary emulator for LaserDisc arcade games. Supports more games than MAME. Use DaphneLoader to update DAPHNE and auto download games. The [[libretro]] core currently only works for Android.
*'''[[Hypseus Singe]]''' is an SDL2 update to the DAPHNE emulator engine. It also includes support for SINGE simulation.*'''[[MAME]]''' (as of 0.242) now has support for six seven LaserDisc games and two three that DAPHNE doesn't support; Cube Quest , Firefox, and FirefoxTime Traveler (only playable on the Singe version of Daphne). The reason MAME doesn't emulate many LaserDisc-based systems, is largely due to indecisions regarding the disc preservation method and format. This will hopefull hopefully be fixed in the future thanks to the [https://www.domesday86.com/ Domesday Project 86Domesday86 project] which employs a combination of specialized hardware and open-source software to preserve the discs in a far more faithful manner than ever before.
