I know there are a few other methods that emulate the old point and shoot mechanics (the Wii had an obvious work around) but those do NOT feel the same. If you've used both I'm sure that you noticed the subtle differences even if you couldn't articulate them.

This seems to solve the issue

I kick-started this a long time ago but I did get them next month or August

And what happens if a black boy is playing CoD and a cop sees him through the window and shoots him? Because that's a cop thing to do

So the guncon the dude's using doesn't look super real, but the coloring is enough for me to giggle at the idea of the dude just putting a bullet in his TV.

Like I associate the Zapper color scheme and style, y'know?

EDIT: That all being said, light gun games in general have kinda reach their limits.

What was the name of that one where you had two guns and you put them together in different ways to make different guns? That one was cool, but it's almost like the only real changes you can make to the formula involve new hardware.

Well, the pedals in time crisis are another thing you can do, and I think in the PS2-ish era they released gun games where you could move back and forth on the rails. I haven't played too many of those.

I never even heard of the one you're talking about though

It's on the same level as playing with a super soaker or a nerf gun or laser tag.

This is great news for those of us who have light gun games that we can no longer play the way the game was designed to be played. It's really a shame the price is way too high for mass acceptance now, hopefully down the road they will be able to sell them at a cheaper price.

Well, it's not ever gonna be a huge seller so the price isn't gonna come down much. The light gun audience is just inherently tiny. But I'll let you all know how well they work when I finally get them

I think these will be pretty easy to do because they're on PC:

Virtua Cop 1, 2
House of the Dead 1-3 and Overkill
Blue Estate

That's actually a pretty good start. There's a long list of arcade games, too, obviously. I've started to compile a list but that's like 7 games that I should basically be plug and play (knock on wood)

Sadly. There are modern light guns, but they use different technology

Silly me, I actually thought that they were going to make these for the retro consoles, so my mistake for not reading the whole article before I posted,

The Dreamcast has 5 light-gun games, two are great, two are good and the last is a decent Saturn re-release,

1-House of The Dead 2-also released on Arcade and other consoles with the Switch version due out next.

2-Confidential Mission-A DC exclusive also in the Arcades that is great.

3-Death Crimson 2-A Japan only release very playable on most Dreamcast without any issue.

4-Death Crimson OX-Released in Japan and NA regions, a little better than the first one.

5-Virtua Cop 2-A port of the Saturn release that is fun to play, released by itself in Japan and on the Smash Pack with 11 other games in NA.

There is also a light-gun mini game in "Demolition Racer: No Exit" for the Dreamcast

When you add in all the other ones for the other consoles, there would be lots of reasons to purchase at least one of the guns.

Since the they only work on PC with the Windows and Linux operating systems, I'll still have to keep a CRT around to play these games.

Yazzz!!!

I forgot about that!!
I never had a light gun when I owned it. I wish I did.
Honestly, I wish I still had that game.
It's one of the few I had that I traded in that I wish that I hadn't.

Yes a very fun racing game where you had to beat-up the other cars and still come in first. The controls were spot on and T-boning or landing on one of the competition was always a blast.

It's actually odd that there aren't more demolition racer games out right now.
There was a cool one for the Xbox but I can't remember the name.
And there is one on Steam, but it gets Meh, reviews.

It's a pretty fun genre I'm surprised it doesn't get more love.

Nice, I remember hearing about this a while back.

Police 911 had a motion detection cage that tracked your body movements, so you could physically crouch to shoot under cars and lean in real time. It was incredible at the time. It had a PS2 port but only in Japan and it required some specialized camera peripheral to work.

I remember playing that in the arcade - I got a good workout from the full body movement!
