Wow, an animated interactive game you can actually play! While 1980's saw a couple of interactive titles, namely Dragon's Lair and Space Age, the genre proved to be visually stunning but frustrating play-wise.

Fast-forward to the 21st century. A couple ex-Disney animators help create The Act. The game's been in development for something like six years and has been play testing in the New England area. Instead of using the clunky joystick Dragon's Lair employed, The Act uses a knob. For example, when trying to charm a women into going on a date, the player must use the knob to control the amount of charm they emit. Turn too much, and you'll come off as over eager. Turn too little, and you'll come off as not interested.

Screw animated interactive titles, I'm so glad to see someone making a knob-based arcade game! Brian Ashcraft
