BanDai Playdia 3/4 view


The Playdia was released by BanDai in Japan in 1994. It is not a traditional game system, but rather more of an interactive movie system, think Dragon's Lair. BanDai called it the Quick Interactive System. It uses CD media and has an wireless controller that fits into the unit. The system is best remembered for its DragonBall Z games.
