Light gun question.

[Igorr]

If you(me) buy a light gun for a MAME cab, would they only work on certain games? Like the .45 cal pistol from happ. Would that work on all/most shooting games, like Aliens or Rambo III? I have a spiderman cab with an angled screen. WOuld a light gun work or does the screen have to be totally upright?

I havn't set up a light gun on a mame cabinet yet so I don't know all the details invloved in getting one to work but something you might want to keep in mind is that not all gun games used light guns. Some used mechanical sensors to detect the angle of the gun. So a light gun won't work on those.
