Mad Dog McCree is the first live-action laserdisc video game released by American Laser Games. It originally appeared as an arcade game[6] in 1990.

The game gained considerable attention for its live-action video style, bearing similarities to contemporary Hollywood Western films. Its success inspired a series of similar live-action rail shooter games in the following years.
