...as opposed to grainy low color fmv. Far superior imo.

Only really found use on the systems too weak for fmv but which had enough storage space for all the huge animated art pieces

PC Engine CD had loads of these. So did some later DOS games like Dune II.

I <3 16 bit CD based titles with no fmv in them. They fix the biggest problem with 16 bit machines (the music quality and low storage space for sprites/backgrounds) but lack the worst aspect of that era (shitty postage stamp fmv with the mspaint color palette)
