}}The '''[[gametech:Pioneer LaserActive|Pioneer LaserActive]]''' is a converged, fourth-generation device capable of playing [[LaserDisc]]s, compact discs, console games, and LD-G karaoke discs. It was released by [[wikipedia:Pioneer_Corporation|Pioneer Corporation]] in 1993. In addition to LaserActive games, separately sold add-on modules (called "PACs" by Pioneer) accept [[Sega Genesis emulators|Mega Drive]] and [[PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) emulators|PC Engine]] ROM cartridges and CD-ROMs.
Pioneer released the LaserActive model '''CLD-A100''' in Japan on August 20, 1993, at a cost of ¥89,800 and in the United States on September 13, 1993, at a cost of <abbr title="$1,679.50 in 2018 money">$970 USD</abbr>. NEC later released a cloned version of the system, the NEC PDE-LD1, which also accepted Pioneer's PAC modules. The LaserActive was a commercial failure.
