I have been overcoming my childhood fear of the Freescape games by playing Driller and Dark Side (the primitive 3D graphics and sound were nightmare inducing!)

An interesting IBM PS/2 Model 30 + LaserDisc player setup in S6E13 of St. Elsewhere. Apparently this is the DxTer Clinical Simulator system, developed by Intelligent Images Inc.
Does anybody recognize the monitor? It appears to be a touchscreen.

Alone in the Dark (DOS, 1992): The ghostly, static dancers in the ballroom that when bumped, turn into invincible, droning, coloured spheres of death that chase you around the mansion and insta-kill you when you inevitably get stuck on a door frame.

Just completed 1996's Toonstruck. I can't believe I slept on it this long! Beautifully made, with well-thought-out, challenging puzzles, loads of charm and of course, the wonderful Christopher Lloyd. Pity about the abrupt ending (see also the game's horrific financial failure and cancelled sequel).

Exterminator by Gottlieb/Premier Technology. Dual TMS34010 power!
Claims to be JAMMA but isn’t, as it has separate sync on another connector 🤦♂️
I need to find sound boards for it. I think they’re the same as used by the System 80B pinball games.
