New Light gun

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/inde...&topic=48982.0

An FYI to all,
I'd been looking for a good light gun that I can use with my front projector, and this one looks pretty good.

Most Light guns only work against CRTs, there are very few good ones that work against LCD/DLP. This one looks nice though.

No. You wouldn't want it to be, either. If you want to shoot accurately, you use both hands to shoot. Not to mention your arm will tired in a big hurry.

Guns are for 'shooter games', like those ones you go to the arcade where you pick up a gun and shoot things. Generally when I go to an arcade I play shooting games, maybe driving games.

Area 51, Lethal Enforcers, Jurassic Park, Time Crisis, etc... - lots of fun shooting games out there.

or just wait for the revolution and have it built into the controller. people who have played with the revolution controller in metroid prime 2 have said that it was the most comfortable control of an FPS they have ever used.

and think about it, if you want to zoom in with your gun you just have to move the controller closer to the screen and it will zoon in accordingly... super suite.

Duck Hunt

I heard from a person who heard from a person that if you completed Super Mario Bros. 10 times, you could then jump over the castle, which would let you shoot the dog in Duck Hunt.

Speaking of House of the Dead, I passed by a local arcade over the weekend and saw that they have made a Part 4 to the series...Looks fun!
