Silliwood

Silliwood (Silicon Valley and Hollywood) is the term given to various California companies involved with creating CD-ROM computer games based on Hollywood movies, most of which did not appeal to serious gamers in the mid-1990s.

Spurred on in large part by the success of CD-ROM games like Myst, these games emphasized flashy production values and big name (or at least, recognizable) actors over gameplay. The unsuccessful games include The Horde (starring Kirk Cameron), A Fork in the Tale (starring Rob Schneider), Night Trap (starring Dana Plato) and several games starring Tim Curry. The successful include the DreamWorks Studios title The Neverhood, the Warner Bros. Edgar Allan Poe game The Dark Eye and The Residents game Bad Day on the Midway, and later Wing Commander games.

The term also referred to the advent of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in Hollywood movies.
