Prosystemsearch Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Crossbow, Cosmic commander, and crack'ed would have been great to have light gun support, especially the former since the 7800 version allowed it. Sad that only Sentinel and the unreleased shooting arcade used the light gun feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRedPlumber Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Crossbow (What you just said) & Carnival make good candidates for the Atari Light Gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Gangster Alley and Warplock would be pretty cool to play with a light gun. Plaque Attack would be fun too as you're defending the teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are still planing on that XE "for Yule" that machine has enough lightgun games so you can go over to the computer section of the forum and chat it up with them. Like I mentioned before, I'm sure they will all just love having you around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianC Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Skeet shoot should have had light gun support and a mode where you shoot at ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Skeet shoot should have had light gun support and a mode where you shoot at ducks. Skeet Shoot should have had a mode where you shoot Skeet Shoot. Speaking of ducks, I keep saying a port of the '70s Atari duck shooting arcade game Qwak! is a no-brainer. Who wouldn't want Duck Hunt for Atari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 More on-topic, Crossbow was a missed opportunity. And when Froggo hacked and rereleased Gangster Alley in the late '80s as Task Force, there was another missed opportunity to tweak it to support the XE gun (unless the XE hadn't come out yet).

I wouldn't mind seeing a port or a video of that game. I couldn't find a single video of the 70s qwak on youtube. I noticed Safari Hunt on SMS was also inspired by a 70s arcade game. Triple Hunt.

Shawn Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bumping. Anybody else got ideas? I have an idea, you should learn to program and make whatever little game your heart desires for the 2600. But you would need an XE gun and actually own a 2600 to test it on real hardware though. Perhaps it's best to wait until after "Yule" when you get your 8bit computer and program the game for that machine instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I already know that different versions of BASIC exist, as Well as ASCII. That's great. Only a couple more days till you get your XL or whatever so you will be spending all your time in the computer forum and writing your lightgun game I'm sure so I'll say Merry Ho Ho to you now as I'm sure you will be hard at work after "Yule" with your new 8bit atari. Surely much too busy to bother with any other portion of the forum but that for your new atari machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themushroom Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think a light-gun enabled hack of something like Seaquest -- never mind the sub shooting torpedos, you're trying to pick off sharks coming fast and furious at your ship -- could be a heck of a fun time. It's the same concept as a light-gun enabled Missle Command. Or Astrosmash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
