Hehe, these are FMV (Full Motion Video) games. Basically it's a filmed movie sequence where you have to shoot the right characters at the right time. They're not 3D however. Thanks though.

I really enjoyed playing the first Mad Dog McCree game back in the day - don't know if I would think much of it today, though.

And Megarace, anyone remember that one?

The acting in both games was okay, but I havn't played Mad Dog in ages, and so I can't say if I would recommend it, nor if the acting alone would be enough to try it out.

You have to remember, this was back in those particular days when huge movie files with 5 - 10 mb games were considered :cool:

In all fairness, some of them probably were cool :)

Games of this type are generally called rail shooters, since you have no control over how you move, etc.

just to understand these games but whats the difference between those mentioned ones and for example Island Peril or Hardline - It's the thought that kills, please?

Island Peril has freedom of movement, no? It has digitized enemies but that doesn't make it a rail shooter.
Hardline is another "rail shooter" meaning the movement is predefined and out of your control (like being "on rails" of a train).
Some of these rail shooters use 3D type of graphics/effects so if you don't move in the proper area you can make contact with a wall or other object while you fly through and experience damage to your ship (like in Microcosm or Novastorm). Some rail shooters use FMV (full Motion Video) and don't use 3D effects, they are simply a movie that plays in front of you and you must shoot appropriate areas where enemies are.
