i was in middle school when columbine happened and all i ever heard them blame it on was DOOM, as far as video games go.

>>6115067

bah was retarded, meant to paste

>"light-gun compatibility was removed from the North American release due to shooting games being partly blamed for the motivation of the then-recent Columbine High School massacre."

Elemental Gearbolt is impossible to play with a gamepad. This game was clearly made with a light gun in mind.

>>6115057
>NTSC

>>6115052
Played it for the first time several months ago, and thought it was alright. For a lightgun game it's not nearly as good as Time Crisis, House of the Dead, and other established lightgun shooters.

>>6115052
I fucking love light gun games/rail shooters.
Snagged this on Ebay just today for 55$, it's going to be my second guncon. I don't have space for this shit but I don't care, I'm excited to play some co-op with my roommates, and as amazing as Time Crisis 2/3 are I need some more variety.
Wish there were more PS2 light gun games, most of them aren't even NTSC. The Resident Evil game and the Virtua Cop collection seem fun.
Too bad GC2s don't work with PS1 light gun games, I don't look forward to having to buy a third light gun...

>>6115052
Did Vic change much in this one?

>>6115057
japanese version of the game still has english voice acting so its easy to play.

>>6115236
Doesn't PS2 have a region lock? Or does freemcboot somehow solve that and everyone just uses that

>>6115239
Ignore me, I am a dumb motherfucker.

>>6115052
20+ years later... sucks to be you faggot zoomer

>>6115239

just posting in case anyone tries to get the japanese verison of elemental gearbolt: it's absolute shit and piss easy. working designs vastly cranked up the difficulty of the localized version, which is why the jp import is so cheap because it's terrible

USA USA USA

>>6115176
Not retro, sorry anon.

>>6115453

eh at this point i'd say any light gun game is retro since they can't even work on hd displays

>>6115464
And the rules would say you're wrong. And I'd say you're en entitled little bitch. On the other hand, I'd enjoy talking about late actual light gun games. If it weren't for the baggage.

>>6115464
>eh at this point i'd say any light gun game is retro since they can't even work on hd displays

No. Please follow the rules and take your ps2 games to /v/.

I never got to play Horned Owl :(

>>6115546
>>6115560
Whoops.
Went to bed, that anon wasn't me. Forgot about the '99 rule, but I do wonder when 6th gen will be retro. PS2 is significantly older now than DC was in 2014, when the sticky was written.
I imagine this has come up many times. It's also less of a time thing and more of a specific era of video games people want to discuss, but I just want to stay off /v/ whenever possible.

To stay on topic, what other retro light gun perhipherals/systems are worth checking out besides the PS1? I know the Saturn had one for HOTD.

>>6116067
>but I do wonder when 6th gen will be retro
It won't. /vr/ is a time window, not a box that expands with time. Thank god/

>>6116151
Mentioned that in the spoiler, I respect that 100%.

>>6116167
Sorry anon, I didn't read the spoiler.

Is Revolution X as bad as it looks?

>>6116046

i always heard horned owl wasn't very good, but i've never played it myself

>>6115052
>just played pic related for the first time recently
At MAGFest? Hope you tried Sentinel, too, the Atari light gun is hella rare to see.

>>6116390

>At MAGFest?

yep
if you saw a dude poopsocking it at the light gun alley, that was me
and yea i tried sentinel, was pretty neat

>mfw someone mentions light gun games

Maybe i'm a casual but point blank 3 is my favorite light gun game of all time

>>6117247
fuck you point blank 2 is better

I remember renting Point Black 2/3, Rescue Shot and Ghoul Panic from my local Blockbusters so many times as a kid. They even gave me a Guncon to take home.

>>6116067

>what other retro light gun perhipherals/systems are worth checking out besides the PS1?

i'd also be interested in this, as it's kinda hard finding anywhere to talk about this stuff

>>6118964
arcade > *
for home-stuff there's saturn.
dc only if you're a masochist due to all guns being shit, for some weird reason.

>>6120565
What's on saturn besides virtua cop and hotd?

>>6115546

I'd say you're a pedantic homosexual or a janitor, both subhuman

Is there a 3rd party PS2 gun that's backward compatible with Guncon 1, or do you pretty much just have to get a 1 and 2 no matter what?

Also, I'm really not into the safety orange american guns, is there any compatibility issues anyone's aware of with using japanese guns on a US system or build differences apart from color?

>>6121057

i've never had any issue using japanese ps1/ps2 controllers on american region consoles and vice versa, so it should be fine if you wanna get the jap ones that don't have the dumb orange end on them

>>6121057
>bought my second guncon 2
>just now realizing I need a gc1 if I want to play the order-of-magnitude-larger PS1 light gun library
I imagine there's no cross-compatible perhipheral since one uses USB and one uses a controller port. Hope someone can prove me wrong.

>>6121802

>I imagine there's no cross-compatible perhipheral

sadly i think you're right, my dude

>>6116067
>>6118964
Master System
Nes
Super Nintendo

That's about it.

>>6121057
Look for a Yoba gun. Really great for both.

no

i got a dreamcast gun, the first party one, and as most people report it's pretty inaccurate and shakes a lot horizontally. after trying the more popular games i tried death crimson OX, with low expectations, but it smooths out the constant shakiness and you can actually aim worth a damn. worth a try if the other gun games for dreamcast bug you.

CRYPT KILLER

>>6122024
Dreamcast. Genesis had Lethal Enforcers and a few, LE was pretty fun as was it's sequel.

Really enjoying gun bullet. The ps1 guncon is by far the best light gun I've ever used. If you get a chance the series is called Point Blank in the west and is really fun with some slappin' music.

point blank trilogy is a 10/10 imo

>>6115091
Definitely this. I had the game and remember feeling like shit since I could not get far in it and it’s no light gun.
