It may be true that i am thinking too big, but with the technology available, it IS possible!
Have fun then. :D

You gotta be kiddin me....

IT'S JUST LIKE DATATAPES!
Datatapes are digital information saved on an audio medium. In a normal player you hear noise, but a machine interprits it as data and viola, you got yer files and such.
Vinylvideo is the same type of noise on a record instead of a tape, it can be played back on any player and fed through a decoding device and the video shows up on your TV.
Data on a record is nothing new. In old techie magazines they would give out free computer programs by inserting into the mag a flexidisc (think square record made of lamination material) that you could pop onto your record player and tape. The tape could then go into a datatape drive and the recorded sound was the program.

The system you speak of was called the RCA Selectavision. It encoded NTSC video on a record and came out during the late 70's/early 80's.

The "disc" (record) was a CED, capacitance electronic disk.

It is NOT the same kind used in the Voyager Interstellar Record. That is a standard LP (though a slow-turning one) that encodes pictures and other data as waveform decoded analog recordings.

That said, I want a game system that plugs my brain into a Matrix - whoah.

That's loads better than the Wii-stick.

Which is better than the self-copies of controllers PS3 and 360 are using.
