Pioneer Laseractive Questions...

Post by dave4shmups »

1) What are all the different types of games that you can play on this system?

2) What kind of controllers can you use on it?

3) How durable is the Laseractive?

1. there are some shmups (3 if my memory is good from Taito)

3. it's very very easy to break. many are broken ! shame on their production and shipping too. (i repaired two units but lacks one Psu :? )

Mewonders how you hook those up to a laseractive, though-I don't see cords with either one of those items.

there's a slot on left, push pull the pack to change. these auctions are missing the dedicated joypads ... i can't imagine the shame where they gone on normal pcengine.... (the difference is not enormous, just a gold label Laseractive, but it's THE pad to go with and without it the price can go low... insanity or geek fetichists attitude as anywhere)

2. pads to play and possible to hook a 3d googles, even Karaoke pack or rarest, Pc interface unit

3. the longevity is regards too about laserdiscs... Rot can affect medias (as laserdisc games on arcades who become rarest)

The packs take regular TG and Genesis controllers. The problem is the high price (200 USD? You can get a Sega CD and a TG 16 with CD for that money). The Laseractive games are nothing to write about. I think collectors want it because it's an LD player that can also take your Turbo Grafx and Sega CD games, in addition to carts.
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.
