Even with 2D games that's basically impossible. Only time it could work is with turn based games and then...you end up with this post lol.
I see you've never played "Dragon's Lair", where every scene was cell animated and the player "chose" the path that the animation would take.
That one ran on a laserdisc, right? Like a CAV disc so it could very quickly move the laser to one of a couple of places for basically a win/lose decision, overlaying some graphics over top for the game UI?
Space Ace!
LOL, I've actually heard of it, but I have not played it. Ofc that game never even crossed my mind when writing my comment haha. I suppose choose your own adventure style books also fall into this category.
