When I was 18 I was at the mall and walked into an electronic store and saw the LaserActive. The salesmen told me all about it and let me have a hands on demo and I was sold! I was able to qualify for the store credit card and walked out with a LaserActive unit and The Genesis pack. The LaserActive cost $999.99 and the Genesis was $499.99 or $599.99, not sure on the Genesis pack! If I remember correctly, when all said and done I paid over $1,800.00, then 30 days later returned it!

@darthv72 7 жыл бұрын
i have one of these too and if you can find the discs from arcade games such as dragon's lair, space ace, cliff hanger etc... those can be watched in the laseractive. they play out from start to finish and show all the scenes and deaths in about 20-30 minutes. Pretty cool back in the day. The motor died in mine but it still plays carts/cards.
@JoseMartinez-jm1bu 6 жыл бұрын
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games you can only play on either pac, carts only from any region. Not CD games . I know . I have a laser active I bought for $5 from a pawn shop

I've got a Laseractive with both the Genesis and Turbografx packs. The only LD game I have for it is one where you're a guy who meets women on the street and convinces them to let him take photos of them. If you do well enough they let you take...more intimate photos of them. I'm not proud to own this.

Hahaha, right. But if you think about it, since you scored on such a great item at a unbelievable price, spending a bit much to complete it should make it easier. I'm just glad that this system was found by someone who can appreciate it and not get thrown away because of the person not knowing exactly what they had. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
