Gamecube Lightgun Games?

[Flack]

What all Gamecube lightgun games are out there? And more importantly, what are the best ones?

I picked up a gun for $2 at a thrift store last weekend -- now I'm wanting to try it out!

O_O

Unless you programmed one for that Apple IIg....

Didnt know there was lightgun games for GC.

Does Starsky & Hutch for the Cube support the wheel / lightgun setup?

Honestly, that's about all I can think of.

I've been looking everywhere since you posted the question. I can find NO mention of any lightgun game for the gamecube. I can't believe that there is a gun and no games for it.

I swear it was a GC connection on the end of it. Now I'm going to have to go home and double check.

EDIT: D'oh -- it just clicked. I'm sure it's for the Dreamcast.

There wrong, I have the game, although not opened. On the back it shows 2 player co-op, but with 2 gamepads. Where as on the other 2 systems it shows one pad and one gun.

Details for Starsky & Hutch...
Control Description:
A-button: accept, confirm or shoot; B-button: back or hand brake; control pad: navigate; control stick: steer left or right; R-button: accelerate; L-button: brake and reverse; X-button: toggle camera; start or pause-button: pause game; control pad left or right: look left or right; control pad down: look back.

Yep, definitely Dreamcast, that's the same one I just got.

Standard issue US Dreamcast light gun. Now go get yourself House of the Dead 2, Confidential Mission, and Sega Smash Pack (with Virtua Cop 2). GO. ;-)

picture is a bit blurry, but I believe that's the Interact Starfire. One of the few guns for the US Dreamcast. Weird double trigger - faster shooting?

Weird double trigger - faster shooting?

Normal trigger = load.

Other trigger = reload.

I don't like the fact that gun shooting games are getting easier. You still have to do it the old-school way of holding two hands on the gun, and putting your index finger over the site to reload. I never felt the same about HOTD2 DC as I did about HOTD2 arcade because of that. :/ And I know you can turn it off by default or not use it, but it just doesn't seem natural to have it on the gun then.

Question now -- is there a lightgun for the Cube? I'd love to see it. Even if it was only for Starsky & Hutch (god knows why THAT would've happened!)

Yeah, that's one of about 3 lightguns you'll see regularly for the DC in the states. The other two are made by Mad Catz (looks more like a Star Trek phaser or something) and one by Pelican (which, at the later half of the DC's lifespan, came bundled with games like HotD2 and Death Crimson OX).

Nintendo's last light-gun effort was the Super Scope, that daft bazooka type jobbie for the SNES. They haven't bothered since then, so no N64 or GC gun.

The PC Engine doesn't have a light gun either. In fact the only consoles with guns are the NES, SNES, all 4 Segas, Xbox and PS1 & 2.

You dare ignore the Ataris??? ;-)
