Game cover

Mad Dog McCree is the first live-action video game released by American Laser Games. It originally appeared as an arcade shooting game in 1990. It gained a lot of attention for its real-video style, baring similarities to recent Hollywood westerns. Players assume the first-person role of "the stranger", a nameless individual who rolls into town and finds that the mayor's daughter has been kidnapped by a gang of outlaws working for Mad Dog McCree.

Various home editions were released throughout the decade of the 90s, including a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer edition and even a version that could be played on a DVD player using a DVD remote controller.

Glitches

Many players found that the 3DO edition of the game was easy to cheat. Whenever an enemy popped up and shot the player too quickly, the player could just as easily pause the game, select "Continue", and find that the game would jump back a couple seconds in the video before the enemy arrived. This would allow the player a second chance at life, who would then be prepared for the enemy to appear in the same spot as before and effortlessly take him out.
