The format's instant-access capability made it possible for a new breed of LaserDisc-based [[video arcade game]]s. Several companies saw potential in using LaserDiscs for video games in the 1980s and 1990s, beginning in 1983 with Sega's ''[[Astron Belt]]''. [[Cinematronics]] and [[American Laser Games]] produced elaborate arcade games that used the random-access features to create interactive movies such as ''[[Dragon's Lair]]'' and ''[[Space Ace]]''. Similarly, the [[Pioneer Laseractive]] and [[Halcyon (console)|Halcyon]] were introduced as [[home video game consoles]] that used LaserDisc media for their software.
