What Are DVD Games?

DVD games are the result of an innovative new approach to encoding Digital Video Discs. Instead of merely pressing play and passively watching a movie, with a DVD game you interact with the story and become part of the story using your remote control.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Box with DVD CaseYou use your television’s remote control as a game controlling pad, pressing the same buttons you’d use to navigate through a menu. Playing a DVD game is a simple as choosing a scene to watch from a movie.

WHAT KINDS OF GAMES ARE THERE?

The most basic use of this technology is to make multiple choice trivia questions or quizzes. Some movies even come with this feature built-in as an "extra" but trivia is just the tip of the iceberg. DVD Games are also capable of creating:

  • Immersive Mysteries
  • Reflex Challenges
  • Picture Scrambles
  • Mazes to Navigate
  • Mix and Matches
The list goes on.

CAN I ALSO USE THE COMPUTER?

Yes. If you have a DVD drive and an application that plays DVD video (both of which are usually included with new computers) you can play DVD games on your computer. In addition to using your player-application’s built-in controls, you can also make on-screen selections with your mouse.

HOW ABOUT THE CAR?

Yes, you can play DVD games in the car, giving you one more option for keeping the kids quiet in the back seat.

No additional technology needed! DVD games play on most conventional DVD players. Slide the disc into your DVD player or computer and it starts automatically. You’re ready to go in seconds.
