    Default What is your favorite light gun game?

    I finally dusted off my old classic NES zapper and tried out Duck Hunt again. This game holds up pretty well even today. What is your favorite light gun game?

    Virtua Cop 2.

    I always like to throw a nod to Scud on Saturn, though, for both its one player, two gun mode, and two player mode where one player plays a side-scrolling run & gun while player 2 lays down cover fire with a light gun.

    Lucky & Wild is also awesome with a wheelman and gunman.

    A few other favorires:
    Gangster Town (SMS)
    Virtua Cop (Sat)
    Gunblade NY/LA Machineguns (Wii)
    House of the Dead 2 (DC)

    I loved Hogan's Alley back in the day. Later on, it was Virtua Cop 2.

    I always felt bad for people who only knew of Duck Hunt back then. I thought Safari Hunt was clearly a better game and Hogan's Alley was more fun than both.

    Safari Hunt was definitely preferable over Duck Hunt for me by a mile. Master System gun games were awesome.

    I liked that one where you shoot at guys that sign up for forums just to spam their Youtube channel. Can't remember what it's called.

    There is a PS2 port of Time Crisis on Namco's Gunvari Collection + Time Crisis. Japanese only AFAIK. If the EMS gun is GunCon2 compatible it should work.

    Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Pun intended.

    The House of the Dead. I was in awe of that game when I first saw it in arcades. The music was intense, and I was always in suspense playing it.

    Sega's Jurasic Park arcade game comes to my mind as being one of my favorite light gun game experiences.
    On consoles, I'd have to say the Point Blank games are rediculous fun. Virtua Cop 2 is really sweet to play.
    And Time Crisis 3 is really great - I'm looking forward to an opportunity to play it co-op on two screens with system link.
