Software:Make My Video
Make My Video is a series of four video games by Digital Pictures in 1992 for the Sega CD. These included series by INXS, by Kris Kross, C+C Music Factory and by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. The games featured three songs from the respective musical groups, and the player edited pre-made clips to make a new music video.
In each game, players are given instructions of what they should include in the video, and then the song is played while the video is edited live. Players can change between video clips available by pressing the buttons on the controller, and choose from clips of videos of the group, stock footage, movie clips, and special effects.
The games were panned by critics and were financial failures.
