Its first hit game was Mad Dog McCree, a light gun shooter set in the American Old West.

American Laser arcade cabinets included a Sony Lasermax LaserDisc player to stream the video content, and an Amiga 500 computer to overlay on-screen graphics, and to control individual game logic.

The computer was fitted with a bespoke interface to utilise the LaserDisc player, an auto-booting ROM board, and a Roctec Genlock.

Ports of its arcade titles were released for the Sega CD, CD-i and DOS computers equipped with CD-ROM drives.

The company also released a series of light-gun controllers, including the 3DO Game Gun and the PC Gamegun, for home computer use.
