that is probably the coolest thing i have ever seen, and as people may or may not know im a retro fanatic, that in 1984? I bet the proud owners of the msx plus this laserdisc addon was *fill in the gaps
1984.... wow some of them visuals are so far ahead its crazy, i mean wolfenstein only just made it 3D in 1992, and that didnt look as good as this 27.50 looks like a warsow level!!! WOW!
This is a Palcom game, The Palcom is an add-on similar to the Sega CD, ma with Laser Disc support. The MSX draws sprites, while the LD reader plays the FMV that is visualized with a Genlock. It's not directly the MSX's CPU that manages the video, it cares only about sprites.
This game is awkward and obscure for its time, although I was rather surprised MSX had this capability. Had it lived longer, it would be a worthy match against the other CD consoles during that time.
what kind of computer made the draws of the video?

Nice looking polygons based graphics for 1984. However, the animation does remind of Silpheed for the Sega CD.

@genietao1dino ASCII (52:17) had a role to play in Silpheed for the Sega CD.

Jump ahead to 16:20 for actual starfighter gameplay action.

Funny how the computer displayed during the FMVs looks like a Cray, probably the same type of computer they used for the animations!

Did they put the CGI stuff on Film first and then on Laserdisc, because there's dirt, scatches and stuff in the background videos.

That giant long description, and no information regarding what emulator, ROM, and laserdisc images were used.

@MichJack2010 Yes. Games are not made according to technical feasibility, but market motives.
