When Sega released the Sega CD in 1991, one of the most prominent supporters of the add-on were Digital Pictures, who specialized in Interactive Movie games. They had limited gameplay, but were still games. The player had controls, an avatar that factored into the story, often scored points, and otherwise had an objective to accomplish in order to win.And then there was the Make My Video series.They were among the earliest releases on the platform, all debuting in 1992, but calling them "games" is pretty generous. The player is tasked with splicing together a music video using official footage from the music group on the disc, as well as assorted public domain footage, in order to appease a random group of people with equally random suggestions on how to improve the video. There was little reward for meeting their expectations, aside from getting to watch your creation... which you had already just done in the course of making it. Not to mention that, given the color limitations of the Sega CD, what footage you were seeing was confined to a tiny window and had very washed-out visuals. These products quickly became a laughingstock of the console and a demonstration of everything wrong with the new full motion video craze.In all, there were four Make My Video titles released, each focused on a different artist and each containing three songs: Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory — "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", "Things That Make You Go Hmmm...", "Here We Go (Let's Rock & Roll)" INXS: Make My Video — "Heaven Sent", "Not Enough Time", "Baby Don't Cry" Kriss Kross: Make My Video — "Jump", "Warm It Up", "I Missed the Bus" Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch: Make My Video — "Good Vibrations", "You Gotta Believe", "I Need Money" | |

What the Hell, Player? | |
| Make My Video (Video Game) / int_72dd7026 | comment |
What the Hell, Player?: The characters make fun of you supposedly for producing a bad video, but good luck understanding what criteria constitutes a good one. Demonstrated in Spoony's video on the series, where he shows how he actually topped the game's high score list, and the game still made fun of him for making a video that wasn't good enough. | |

| Make My Video (Video Game) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: The girls promise "Poindexter" that if you make a great video, they'll put on whipped-cream bikinis. When he comes to collect afterwards after you screw up, they just spray the whipped cream in his face, followed by the camera. They go through with it if you meet their expectations, though. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Make My Video (Video Game) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: The first three at least have some sort of coherent setup. Marky Mark, though, just deals with a brother and sister, Jimmy and Leda, who consult whoever on what kind of video should be made, which incidentally makes it the entry with the biggest cast. The introduction of Jimmy just meandering around a bedroom for two minutes before switching off the camera seems almost normal compared to what follows. | |

Sensory Abuse: Possible to invoke; just go wild with the video editing options, like mirroring, strobing, grayscale, etc. Some might even consider the grainy Sega CD visuals enough of an example on their own. | |
