Abstract
There is provided a video game system utilizing a video disk as a read only memory to store digital video image data for use in generating the video game images. The video data is stored by compressing digitized video data using color cell compression and then further compressing the data to multi-level data encoded with partial response coding. The data is retrieved from the video disk ROM by using an inverse of this compression process.
