It combines real-time 3D polygon graphics with laserdisc-streamed, animated backgrounds, making it the first arcade video game to use real-time 3D computer graphics.[5][6] At around the same time, pre-rendered 3D computer graphics were used in Funai's arcade laserdisc game Interstellar,[7] introduced at the same AM Show in September 1983.[8] Cube Quest was nevertheless the first game to use real-time 3D computer graphics, predating Atari's I, Robot (1984).
