Going way back on this one.

Here's the Wiki.
Time Traveler (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hologram_the_time_traveler)

Here's my take.

I remember this game very vividly. Almost any big arcade had this game front and center when you walked in. It was very futuristic when it came out. You could literally put your hand through the projected hologram image.

The game was incredibly hard I remember. maybe it wasn't, but I sucked at it. Gameplay was reflex based where you had to push a button at a certain time or move the joystick a certain way. It was mostly trial and error.

If you ever get a chance to play it, you should just to experience it once.

Maybe character wise. But picture the game being projected in space like R2-D2 projecting the message from Princess Leah. it was just like that. It was the only game ever of it's kind. Which seems odd to me.
