ataridave Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've played this game on an Atari compilation for the Nintendo DS, and it was fun, tapping enemies to destroy them. What is it like playing this game on an Atari 2600, with the XE light gun? I've never read any reviews of this game that cover that.

BassGuitari Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've played this game on an Atari compilation for the Nintendo DS, and it was fun, tapping enemies to destroy them. What is it like playing this game on an Atari 2600, with the XE light gun? I've never read any reviews of this game that cover that. I have the game--and was actually very excited to get it since it was the last red label cart I needed, and it was a lightgun game--but I haven't played it much. To be honest, it was very hard to play because the XE gun is such a piece of junk; it's notoriously inaccurate and with good reason. I guess that is to say I really haven't *played* it yet, I only struggled with the gun. Apart from that I don't have much to comment on. Seems like kind of a neat game otherwise. In fairness, I was playing on a 27" CRT and supposedly the XE gun doesn't like TVs much bigger than about 15," which may be true. I recall better performance with 7800 gun games on a 13" screen, but my XE gun still liked to shoot left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Best Electronics have their own light gun, but I haven't read anything about it. It's gotta be better then the XE gun.
