Retro Ads: Pioneer LaserActive

I've always loved laser discs. They're the giant mutant cousins of DVDs and occasionally turn up at flea markets at ridiculous discounts. But did you know that Pioneer made a laser-disc video game system in the early '90s? Take a gander [via The Retroist]:

The truly amazing thing about the LaserActive is that Pioneer allowed the unit to play TurboGrafx 16 and Sega Genesis games. It certainly didn't have a broad appeal, and it only lasted a year or so before solid CD systems like the PlayStation hit the scene. 

Hit the jump for a look at Triad Stone, a LaserActive game.
