Good to hear! I know they never truly went away and I have no intentions of playing the ones that do exist, but it's an artform I respect.

FMV games

Wow I had forgotten those were even a thing. They were kind popularish back in the early days of CD-ROMs when game companies didn't know what to do with the unfathomably large 600mb of storage capacity.

Also waiting in the water to catch the guy as he falls so he doesn't splash is smoooooth as hell.

I mean, whatever, it's an interactive way to watch movies I guess? Detective movies in particular seem like they'd work well because you could have the player/viewer work out the mystery together with the detective in a psuedo-interactive way.

They also saw a smallish resurgence during the early Xbox Live Arcade days
