braindead 13 was also a laserdisc action game just like dragons lair but 50 times as good.

We'll have to take your word for it. I think the vast majority of us have never even heard of that title, though I am curious now.

Oh, i remember playing the demo of Braindead 13 when the game was first released. Never played the full game, though. It has been re-released for iOS devices a few years ago, apparently.

Brain Dead 13 was on 3DO, Bib Box PS1 and I hink Sega Saturn. I hear the 3do version was the best.

Braindead 13 was one of the last fully animated games of this type, but it was never released in the arcades... it went directly to the SonyPlaystation/SegaSaturn consoles, and unfortunately it released near the same time as those consoles were being taken off the shelves for the next gen of platforms, so it did not sell anywhere nearly as well as it should have. Its a real shame, since the animations are quite well done throughout most of the game sequences.

The game itself is one of the most difficult games of the genre as many of the directional button and action button presses are neither intuitive or telegraphed with on-screen audio or visual cues, but to make up for the ramped up difficulty there are infinite continues... and you will need them... Lance dies a LOT.

Clips of the game (and the many death sequences) are available on YouTube.
