Many arcade games used the technology but it was ultimately considered to be a fad and fell out of use. The early 1980s saw almost exclusive use of the LaserDisc for FMV games.
While many games feature FMVs as a way to present information during cutscenes, games that are primarily presented through FMVs are referred to as full-motion video games or interactive movies.
Full-motion video ( FMV) is a video game narration technique that relies upon pre-recorded video files (rather than sprites, vectors, or 3D models) to display action in the game.
