Swami Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just curious. My own opinion is that although I think it might inspire a few original and intriguing homebrews or hacks of existing shooters or allow realistic ports of shooter arcade games, I believe there is exactly one light gun homebrew for the atari 2600/7800/8-bit line-up (Bobby Needs Food), so it would probably be futile. But, perhaps there is more interest than is perceived. So, I guess I am leaning slightly towards the 4th choice versus the 3rd choice.

Ikrananka Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My enjoyment of light gun games is limited to more modern consoles and arcade games via MAME and as such I have no interest in light guns for more retro systems. So I voted for the second to last option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I thought light guns don't work on the lcd, etc... of new tvs? If that is true then it is useless to create a game for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wii uses an IR light gun/wiimote. Many plug and play games use IR sensor guns. Works with any TV. I had it explained in a multiple choice poll, but someone pulled it. Supposed to fill out a form first or something??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
