Wild Gunman

Sega Saturn: (only ever pkayed the arcade versons of these but so plan to pick these up)
House of the dead
crypt killer

Virural Cop 1&2

Wii:
House of the dead 2&3, overkill
zeldas cross bow adventure
Attack Of The Movies 3D
You know id live to put more but there are so many I love and even more I wish were ported.  Might easyer to kist what I haven't played and liked.

PS:
Elemental Gearbolt

I never played light gun games on the SNES but might want to try some day. Was never a fan of that bazzoka.

I know the MS had some great games like Rambo but never played and not very familiar.

I always loved Sunsoft's 'FREEDOM FORCE" on the original NES

[DeshDildo]

THIS! 
I also liked Lethal Enforcers
House of the Dead 2+3
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

[Medic_wheat]

Lethal enforcers was never my thing. The only digitized characters I like in my arcade games was mortal kombat and area 51.

[bob]

HUGE freedom force fan here.
i love the genre.

house of dead overkill and reload on the wii are great too.

[BlueBMW]

Super Scope 6 on the SNES was awesome fun.   Yoshis Safari was a nice little romp... Metal Combat and Battleclash were pretty good too.

[cr8zykuban0]

some of my favorites
confidential mission
house of the dead
virtua cop
terminator 2 arcade game

[Dan Iacovelli]

2600 had couple light gun games (as well as the 7800):Crossbow, ,Alien Brigade , Meltdown, and Barnyard Blaster.
for the record the jag was planned to have a light gun made by  american laser games with mad dog Mcree (I knew this before anybody else because before the net I was on GEnie where Atari had the real time chats in the Atari Roundtable forum and Iwas in every one and I asked the question about light gun for the Jagaur) unfortatley this was around the time atari was dropping out of the console as well.

Just looked at the PS2 guncon games. Man. Drooling over those box sets that came with a gun con.

I count a few of them to for the NA

Time crises II, III, vampire, ninja. 


Might have found a new big box obsession. Lol

[xcrement5x]

Where is Point Blank?!  Those games are the bomb and I could play them for hours.

HOTD Overkill is pretty awesome and there is also a PS3 version with some additions.

The Resident Evil Wii shooting game is fun too, there is a lot of awesome stuff on the Wii that had releases.  Vampire Night is le funs. 

[98pacecar]

I believe it's Time Crisis 2 & 3 and Vampire Night that use the FireWire port on early PS2s to give 2 screen link play. Very fun way to play if you have 2 crts, 2 ps2s, and 2 copies of the game.

[HailingTheThings]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Yoshi's Safari. Hah.

[BlueBMW]

Who could forget Missile Defense 3D on Master System!?  Quite possibly the best use of 3D and a light gun!

[CGQuarterly]

I just finally picked up a Super Scope for my SNES, so I've been playing around with that. 

Virtua Cop 1 & 2 for Saturn are awesome.

[HailingTheThings]

DarkKobold's Photo-op Shootout - the light gun would function more like a nice photography camera in this riveting mashup of Ai Cho Aniki and Gekisha Boy

This one sounds like a winner.

[esteban]

I play PCE Operation Wolf with a Menacer.

[Medic_wheat]

I cannot help but wonder the following

Does the guncon 2 work with ps1 games on the ps2?

Was there any force feedback guncons released for thr ps2?

What the hell were they thinking with that gunforce 3?  It looks a little off but maybe it played well. 

I believe it's Time Crisis 2 & 3 and Vampire Night that use the FireWire port on early PS2s to give 2 screen link play. Very fun way to play if you have 2 crts, 2 ps2s, and 2 copies of the game.

Oh really?   

Because the systems and games and getting another $10 dollar crt is very doable.  Amd cheap.  The game without gun goes for like $10 dollars and the ps2. I don't know what the current going rate is but it couldn't be more then $20 bucks.

Super Scope 6 on the SNES was awesome fun.   Yoshis Safari was a nice little romp... Metal Combat and Battleclash were pretty good too.

Whsnt those three game the entier light gun game list for the NA SNES?

Where is Point Blank?!  Those games are the bomb and I could play them for hours.

The Resident Evil Wii shooting game is fun too, there is a lot of awesome stuff on the Wii that had releases.  Vampire Night is le funs.

Considering your avatar of course you are a point blank fan. Might have to pick up a compalation inport game one day.


From necro:

See how this works?  Stop making triple and quadruple posts.

[Opethian]

guncon 2 is USB so no it wont work

you can use a guncon 1 and 2  for dual guns on Time Crisis 3 tho

[xcrement5x]

Funny story about the force feedback GunCon.  I talked to a guy one time who used to be an arcade tech and he was telling me that Namco did make prototype home use Guncons for the PS1 that had recoil and he had used them before, but that was dropped in the final version which was released. 

He could have been lying to me, but he's always been a truthful guy with no need to lie about a prototype GunCon offhand so I believe it.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Freedom Force on NES love!! WWOOO!!

I actually have a pretty good time with Saturn lightgun games the most. 

Virtua Cop and Scud: The Disposable Assassin are some of the best!!

[Medic_wheat]

Guncon compatible games

The Guncon 2 is not compatible with the PlayStation as it has no regular PS-port but USB only, meaning the following games only work with the original Guncon.

Crisis Zone (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon 2, but only the EU version)Elemental GearboltEndgame (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon II)Extreme GhostbustersDie Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las VegasGhoul PanicDeath Crimson OX (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon II)Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse JamesJudge DreddMaximum ForceMighty Hits SpecialMoorhuhn seriesPoint Blank seriesRescue ShotResident Evil Survivor Japanese and PAL versions only.[10]Time CrisisTime Crisis: Project TitanTime Crisis II (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon 2)Time Crisis 3 (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon 2, but only the EU version)Vampire Night (PS2 game that supports both Guncon and Guncon 2)Guncon 2 compatible games

Some Guncon 2 (PS2) games are compatible with the original Guncon, unless the game utilizes the extra buttons on the Guncon 2.

So true.
Game was a bit limited in terms of stages, but those 3D effects were by far the best. 
That ice stage with the pillars sticking out and the deep chasm were so damn impressive back then.

I am a HUGE light gun fan!  Always one of my favorite genres since I was a kid, because Chiller and Crossbow got me hooked!

Most of the big games were listed (Beamer saved the day), but I don't think I saw Lucky and Wild anywhere.  WHERE IS LUCKY AND WILD!?!?!?

I want to play Chiller. I never knew about it back in the day.

Years before Mortal Kombat, my local pizza place tried to turn me into a serial killer by having this game on display.  I am not sure if you can be appreciate the game today in the same manner I did as a youth, but you must play the arcade version if you are giving it a chance.  The NES game sucks my asshole.

I appreciate Super Pitfall NES, of course I can appreciate Chiller arcade 

I just have to find it, though

If it counts.... Links Crossbow Training for Wii was surprisingly fun for a cheapie.

I Know makes you wisit had a deeper game to it instead of a side thing

[bob]

The wii should have just been marketed as a light gun machine. Big Buck Hunter is by far the best home conversion on the wii.

I mean I guess its sorta based on Twilight Princess but yeah it definitely left you wanting more.

LA Machineguns / Gunblade was a really good lightgun game on Wii.  House of the Dead (both games) and the Resident Evil gun games were also really solid.  Ghost Squad was a lot of fun too.  I am not sure if you are being sarcastic, but I did really enjoy the light gun games on the Wii.

PS - Gotcha! is one of the best games on the NES.

No...im serious. I loved all those games too. Ghost Squad was quirky fun.
I wasnt too into the cabella games. I just wanted to shoot...those make you "hunt", which i didnt have the patience for. They have quick mini-game modes....but they arent very good.

I played LA Machineguns in the arcade and noticed there was a Wii port.  Hearing a positive review on it makes me more inclined to grab a copy then.

It really should have been a Kid Icarus themed "Targer Practice and Bow Shooting featuring Pit" game instead. But the Zelda franchise is bigger and more marketable.

Lethal Enforcers on the Sega CD, I totally dig the boss fights.

Too bad I no longer have a tube TV

I keep hoping someone will creat some gadget that will allow light gun games to function on a lcd tv since one day crt tvs will be gone. 

Some sort of by pass or sensor that minics a crt tv .....



Although such a device will most likely be inconceivable!



I do not think that words means what you think it does.

[Psycho Punch]

Area 51 is the best lightgun shooter ever made.

Area 51 (Arcade) Full Playthrough

Mechanized Attack, the game from devil 666 on the NES is actually pretty interesting albeit short.

[TR0N]

Hmm beast busters any one ? It's some thing snk never gave it a port.
