After the display vector the arcade game developers have been experimenting with laser disc players for entertainment such as movies. The first attempt is the Cave of the Dragon (1983) by Cinematronics. It became a sensation when it was published (in some cases laser disc players in many machines malfunctioned due to excessive use.)
New controls have also been eliminated in some games, joysticks and buttons are much more standard game arcade controls. Atari released the game in 1978 using the scroll wheel. The Spy Hunter introduced a flier with a resemblance to a road, and Hogan has made use of light arms attached.
