Holographic Time Traveller arcade game attract mode. You can read, watch, listen and play the history of the "Holographic" Time Traveler laserdisc arcade game, Dragon's Lair, and the laserdisc craze of the 1980s at my video game history website The Dot Eaters: https://thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=bitstory-article-2%2Fdragons-lair-and-the-laser-game-craze&page=5

The "holographic" Time Traveller Laserdisc arcade game by Rick Dyer, creator of the groundbreaking Dragon's Lair laserdisc arcade game, tried to further video game technology by creating the "holographic" arcade game Time Traveler for Sega in 1991. I put holographic in quotes because it wasn't really: images from a monitor inside the cabinet were bounced off a concave, blacked out semi-spheric mirror and reflected to a gameplay stage, giving the impression of the images floating there. 

Time Traveler met with moderate success in the arcades, but as it was another barely interactive on-the-rails laserdisc game with dubious productions values, it didn't cause the waves Dragon's Lair did and Time Traveler quickly travelled off to oblivion.
