The Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack is a nice return to FMV gaming when it was erroneously considered "The next big thing" (apologies to UFC champ Brock Lesnar). Although these light gun games require some of the most meticulous timing you'll ever encounter, along with a decent amount of luck and patience, there's still a blast to play if you are a fan of camp or purposely cheesy things.
This week Fred and Jam tackle the wonderful world of light gun shooters. What started as a mere carnival game evolved into one of the more interactive – and for some of us, fun – genres that has not withstood the test of time. With the advent of newer screens, the technology that made light guns possible is now ruined by delays of no more than a fraction of a second. In this episode we discuss the history, technology behind, and our fondest memories of the games that utilized the light gun peripheral.
This was were it all begun for me in terms of light guns..my old C64 http://www.richardlagendijk...
Light gun games are some of my favorite. I played one in collage that that used a sensor to track your body and you had to physically duck behind shelter. Killed your legs but it was fun. Can't remember the name, post below if you know the name.
Do you like cheesy acting? How about continuity errors in between movie clips? Or gameplay that’s mostly based on memorization? If any of that sounds enticing, well then… You’re in for a treat I guess.
Someone actually paid money for this.
I used to have Mad Dog McCree for the 3DO with the orange gun. How far we have come. It was so inaccurate, it made me sad.
