In LEGO Island
Smacker is one of two animation/movie file formats used in LEGO Island, the other being FLIC. While LEGO Island is obviously not an "FMV game", it does contain a handful of FMV sequences:
- No-CD message (NOCD.SI)
- Opening logos and cutscene (INTRO.SI)
- Character introductions in the Information Center (INFOMAIN.SI)
- Underwater second floor elevator (ISLE.SI)
- Cutscenes that play upon either winning or losing the Pepper quest (INTRO.SI)
- End credits (CREDITS.SI)
