| | Light gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Light guns are very popular in arcade games, but have never caught on in the home video game console market. | | | These early light gun games used small targets (usually moving) onto which a light-sensing tube was mounted; the player used a gun (usually a rifle) that emitted a beam of light when the trigger was pulled. | | | A game that uses more than one gun reads both triggers continuously and then, when one player pulls a gun's trigger, the game polls that gun's diode until it knows which object was hit. |

| | Duck Hunt Review |
| | There weren't many games to take advantage of the Zapper, nor have other systems had many light gun games, and Duck Hunt did offer a break from all the platform games on the NES. | | | However, that game's light gun stages alone are vastly superior to all of Duck Hunt. | | | Also, the aim of the Zapper with the game seems accurate enough for the technology of the time. |

| | defunct games > on running feuds > leaving the light gun where it belongs |
| | These days game systems don't come with light guns so if you're going to play a game like House of the Dead you are going to need to pick up a $40+ accessory to go along with it. | | | But not light gun games, they are better when you have a huge gun that looks like the heat your character is packing on screen. | | | To make matters worse, sometimes the gun is only good for one game, making it extremely hard to justify purchasing it in the first place. |

| | Attack The Gas Station! - Progressive Boink |
| | Captain N made the Zapper look awesome, and we all wanted to be like him and become the game. | | | Eventually, the part of the gun that's supposed to be the bullet chamber would come loose and hang off the edge of the gun, and then nobody would want to play stupid Cowboys anymore. | | | So I'd just use the Lazer Tag gun when I was playing Army with my friends. |

| | DVD Talk Forum - Recommend some good 'Light-Gun' games for any system |
| | The only light gun game I bothered to play recently is Point Blank 3, it is tons of fun but is a PSX game, however don't let that stop you, did they ever release a PS2 version? | | | My favorite gun series of all time (and I have many many gun games) is the Point Blank series for the PS1. | | | It's reasonable to believe that any shooter will essentially be a light gun game, pointing at the screen and shooting targets (at least that's what their demo showed). |

| | I know for a fact that the guns used inspired the Sega Zapper light gun.) Anyway, it's a long and tough game, but it gets my vote as one of the better SMS games out there. | | | Similarly, when you're fighting in a corridor, you can try to duck under the shots of the Norse soldiers; but if they duck and it shoot, there's not much you can do to dodge it. | | | This makes gameplay rather tough at the beginning of the game when you have a crappy gun; fortunately, it gets better as time progressed (the most powerful gun can destroy land mines without you having to jump over them.) |

| | The light gun contains a camera sensor, with a field of view good enough to find the two LEDs as the gun points to various points on the screen, and a resolution good enough to support the kind of accuracy you want in your games. | | | Are we ever going to get light gun games back? | | | Eg cameras+IR markings (like the TrackIR sim gamers use) on the gun could give you gun tracking even when the game isn't in "hit detect" mode. |

| | 4 - The light gun was fairly accurate, so you could sit as far away from the TV as the cord would let you and still have a decent chance of hitting the targets. | | | The basic idea was that you were a hunter (with a pistol, for some reason) hunting ducks with your trusty dog. | | | Duck Hunt was one of the first light gun games for the Nintendo. |
