Make My Video

Make My Video is a series of three video games by Digital Pictures in 1992 for the Sega Mega CD and personal computers. The games would feature three songs from the respective musical group, and the player would edit pre-made clips to make a new music video. The games were universally panned and were financial disasters.

In each game players are given instructions of what they should include in the video, and then the song is played while you edit the video live. Players can change between video clips available by pressing the buttons on the controller, and have the option between clips from the videos of the group, stock footage, movie clips and special effects.
