The world’s first holographic video game
Time Traveler is a Sega arcade game from 1991 that runs off a LaserDisc and plays a lot like Dragon’s Lair. Which makes sense, as Time Traveler was designed by Dragon’s Lair creator Rick Dyer.
When it was released, Sega described the game as “The World’s First Holographic Video Game!”. Technically, this arcade game from Sega isn’t using real holograms, but the effect is still pretty dang cool and feels futuristic even in 2023. Like Dragon’s Lair, it’s not great to actually play, but if you ever see this one in person, it’s worth marveling over a bit.
