Orpheus - Halcyon System RDI 1984 Laser Disc Gustavo M.B. 2009-04-02 | For the videogame historians out there, here's another preview of a never released game for the Halcyon System. The Halcyon was groundbreaking for the time (late 1984), featuring voice recognition, speech synthesis and a laserdisc player. The brainchild of Rick Dyer, best known for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace arcade laser games, it was also very expensive. Only a few were sold, with just two games ever released (Thayer's Quest and NFL Football) before the company went bankrupt. These clips are from the bonus section of Thayer's Quest DVD edition. Enjoy!

The Spirit of the Whittier Mansion - Halcyon System RDI 1984 Laser Disc Gustavo M.B. 2009-04-02 | This is my favorite of those Halcyon never-released games. It kind of reminds me of Sierra's Phantasmagoria, if made 11 years before :-) . It's a shame it was never completed because it could have been a great game if only for this footage. Wonder if they have shot the remaining scenes, but I guess not. . Anyway, check out my other Halcyon videos and thanks for watching! ;-)
