If you actually HAD to play a Sega CD Full Motion Video title, what game would you choose? Rocket Science Games' Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine probably doesn't come to mind, as it's little more than Sewer Shark in a different outfit. Set in the 22nd Century, the original put you in control of the title character Tully Bodine, the captain of a cargo ship trying to escape from a Moon base. Your mission was to convey a cargo of contraband camels (?) to the planet Phobos. The live video features such recognizable actors as Ned Beatty and Bary Primus, both of whom provided better-than-average performances. The rest of the game involved clumsily moving the cursor around the screen while shooting down pre-rendered enemies. Not much fun, really, but better than most FMV titles. Regardless of its questionable merits, Loadstar was canceled when it became apparent that the the 32x CD titles were selling about as fast as cat turds.
