Light gun games on PS2 is where it's AT! One of the reasons why I started seeking out CRT's is because of the light gun games. Now I've got 8 CRT's stashed away in every nook and cranny of the house...it's borderline sick. Some great editing there Robert! The PlayStation 2 outro at the end was a nice touch.
Can you tell me which CRTs are the most modern / big ones on which I can play with the PS2 + Lightguns? Cause somehow I want to start that project on buying a PS2 with a CRT lol.
Light gun games are already niche, but we're going even deeper. There is a reason to have the fat model (only some of the early ones) of PS2 for light gun games, and it's that port next to the USB ports called the S400 port (the model you guys showed has it). If you have 2 PS2s with that port, two copies of the game, two CRTs, and an i-link cable, you can play system link on Time Crisis 2, Time Crisis 3, and Vampire Night (plus some other non-lightgun games like TimeSplitters 2, Unreal Tournament, and the Armored Cores) so that you can both play on your own screen while playing coop, which for Time Crisis 3 is pretty much required because they put your viewpoints side by side, so unless your TV weighs 400 lbs, you can't see shit haha. Great video guys, I hadn't heard of that MadCatz gun before I'll have to check it out. Light-gun games were most of what I would play in the arcades so finding out I could have them at home was a game-changer. Plus, the games and guns are cheap, and if you don't have a CRT I guarantee you can find someone who will just give you their old one.
I had that setup before. Two PS2s hooked up with iLink. 14" CRTs, two GC2s. Time Crisis 3. A great deal of fun while it lasted. I'm eyeing modern solutions (current LCD, OLED tvs), such as Sinden Lightgun or Gun4IR. I still have my PS3 with two Sharpshooters/Move controllers, for that occasional HOTD fix.
As a resident evil and light gun die hard, re dead aim and re survivor are must haves. Also loving the light gun series. Would love to see more light gun videos for sure!
Not everyone agrees with emulation, but I installed free mcboot and opl on my ps2. Allows me to play these PAL exclusive light gun games. Gunfighter 2, Death Crimson 2 and Virtua Cop Elite (1&2). Loads of fun! Cheers
I love that you guys play on OG hardware as I am the same way. All my old consoles work flawlessly except my PS2 which is starting to have disc read/laser issues that I need to address at some point. Keep up the great work, love the channel
Wow. My fat og ps2 still works like a champ. Same with my xbox 360. Never had any problems with either. Anyway, I never played lightgun on ps2. I'm very intrigued! Time to spend some money!!
Super helpful video had no clue about mad catz blaster. Enjoy lightgun games on ps1 but literally forgot about it for ps2 for some reason. Thanks for the education gentlemen.
I remember when HD CRTs hit the market and I was really excited. Then I heard they had issues with light gun games and I was 100% out. Love my Light gun games and thank you for mentioning how the Wii is not a true Light gun. Best video this year for me. Take Care guys, and keep gaming.
One thing about the Wii and light gun games is you can run emulation on it…and play Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, NES light gun games on a modern TV. Maybe even Mame, but I haven’t tested that out yet. It’s pretty strong library of native Wii LG games too. I have a CRT, and the MC gun, Saturn Stunner, Genesis Justifier, love em all.
no clue there were great ps2 gun options. well, this requires my attention now. thank you, you fine gentlemen. quick sidebar, I spent all of 05 in Iraq and rocked the ps2 slim. that thing survived the heat, sandstorms and long play the whole year. sold it with the tv when I left. but zero issues during my time with it.
The only Lightgun game I have for PlayStation is Area 51 for PS1. But if I could get an actual lightgun for it at a decent price, just that one game would probably be worth it. I'll have to check eBay at some point for that.
Little known fact about time crisis is you can plug a controller into port 2 and use it as a foot pedal. Any button works. That’s how I do it and it’s perfect for me
I have the game Time Crisis crisis zone and it's fantastic, beautiful graphics, gameplay is excellent lots of action and you have to use a shield on this game.
Hey guys the Hip Gear Guncon that comes with Dead Aim 2 is also compatible with GunCon 1, GunCon 2 and the Konami gun on PS1. I have one and it's great and I don't think it's that much more expensive than the Blaster. I do want that Mad Catz Blaster to try it out though, haha.
2 years ago, i started my light-gun subset. As a result i own a comprehensive collection on Ps1, Ps2, OG Xbox, Saturn and Dreamcast! It is a very funny goal to achieve and both hardware and softwares remain quite accessible! I would say that my nicest items are Silent Scope Complete on OG Xbox and Confidential Mission on Dreamcast. Of course i found all the important games like House of the Dead, Time Crisis, Dino Stalker, Vampire Night, etc… I think that the many Rail Shooters of the Wii can fall into that « light-Gun » category, even though the technology is different, the feeling is the same! Life is short! Play video games!
Guys instead of using a pedal you can use your controller with you foot since guncon 2 hooks up with the usb! There was a gostbusters game in pal region that I wish we would have got. Good video guys
I have the slim PS2 and 2 MadCatz Blasters. For PS2 games, you only need to plug in the USB portion. I discovered this while playing Time Crisis 2, if you plug in just the traditional controller port and are in GunCon1 mode, you have less buttons to work with (check the button configuration menu) if you plug in just the USB and are in GunCon2 mode, you get to utilize all the other buttons on the MadCatz Blaster. I know MadCatz gets a bad rap, but the blasters get the job done.
Totally you'll wanna get Virtua Cop Rebirth and Gun Survior 2 : Code Veronica, they're worth the import. I like the black Guncon 2's better than the ugly orange ones, they work just the same too.
Awesome vid i already owned most of these but got Ninja Assassin and Endworld based on your info. Scored them for $110 for both Brand New Sealed few weeks back gonna crack em open soon and hopefully enjoy.
Man u hit me with the mad cats I had no clue I use a nyco witch is super accurate but no d bad or joy stick been waiting for this episode an yall delivered love seeing people represent light guns..keep kicking ass guys
On my way now to pick up a guncon 2! Can't wait to enjoy these with my 9 year old son. Still got my original ps2 slim and grabbed a free sony trinitron wega a few years back. Currently enjoying Champions of Norrath. Cheers
Wow! Thanks for the Mad Catz nugget. I just scooped one up and went that route so I get a two-fer: be able to play Project Horned Owl again and to play 2-player Point Blank games with my GunCon 1. So pumped! Cheers
I was waiting for this video, I have all the on Rails games and the two Namco guns for the PS2, they are amazing! but I'm missing the PS1 games, with that info about Mad Catz light gun I'm going to make sure to change that! Thank you again, awesome video like always.... cheers 🍻🕹🎮🤘
My experience with light gun games is mostly on the Wii. I really wanna try to PS3 move to play Time Crisis Razing Storm and house of the dead. I would try PS2, but adding a CRT isn't very feasible for me :(
I definitely need to get some light gun games in my collection! Hearing about that MadCatz gun really has me wanting to scratch that itch now. Great video! Cheers!
I have the Mad Catz Blaster for the OG Xbox (not that it really matters lol) I'll have to wait for a deal on the PS2 version. I would say that the only thing the Sinden guns excel at is playing arcade exclusive light gun games through MAME. Other than that, you're not gonna get the experience you do on a PS2 and CRT. There's will never be a replacement for that...I mean, I hope some new tech comes out, but I'm not holding my breath.
What a Great Video. Huge fan of the genre since the old days. And on the PS2 slim comment, you're absolutely right, the Slim is way better. Still have my original slim since the 2000s. The slim is definitely the best version.
Oh man you guys may have sold me on taking the plunge. I've got the CRT and PS2, none of the games or guns though. My roommate and I played the hell out of House of the Dead and Confidential Mission on the Dreamcast back in the day, but I haven't played any light gun games since. Great video as always, thanks for the info!
I love light gun games, LOVE them. But I’m still surprised people are willing to get a CRT to experience those games. I just thank God for the Wii: the console that allows you to play shooters without having a 40 pound 30” TV to lug around.
@@GamingOffTheGrid You guys do the CRT thing. Me, the moment I shoved my old CRT off a bridge was the day I was liberated from that god damn thing. I’m never going back.
@@GamingOffTheGrid Don’t get me wrong. If I were to stumble into a pad like y’all’s and see Time Crisis set up and ready to go, I’d grab that gun so quick it would make your head spin. I’ve just got too much trauma related to CRTs. No joke, I’ve broken my hand having one dropped on it. I’ve also seriously strained my back moving them on several occasions. Lot of PTSD there.
Police 24/7 is amazing, needs the justifier and a specific webcam (list of working webcams on the wiki) to let you duck for cover with your body motion instead of a button. Sounds like it must’ve been crappy execution because no one seems to have heard of it, but if you have the right gun and compatible webcam, it’s so freaking good. Works better than any eye toy game.
Never heard of End Game before but now I need to find that and still hunting for Ninja Assault. I’m hoping in the next year to build a cabinet with many consoles dedicated to just light gun games. Great video! Cheers 🍻
This is a great, informative video. I've got a little retro setup already with my PS2 and N64 hooked up to a CRT TV, so all I really need is the mad catz gun controller and to find a few games and I'm good to go.
Excellent! I love lightgun games and have been getting into PS2 lately. Think i am going to do a free mcboot rig. I also just picked up a couple ps3 Move sets so plan to look into the PS3 "light gun" games next.
yowsers no mention of the Virtua Cop series which is excellent on the PS2 and Gcon2 compatible. I loves my PS2 lightgun games, we have regular challenges on the TC2 mini games.
I have always loved light gun games and now my son does as well. I actually liked Re-Survivor a lot. I have never seen Endgame so thank you I will be looking for that one!
I didn’t even know the Mad Catz gun existed. I’ve picked up both the Guncon 1 and 2 for cheap, but the Madz Catz looks like a good option for me to get in case I wanna play coop on a game compatible with only one of the Guncons.
If you have a controller plugged into player 2 port, every single button on that controller acts like the foot switch for time crisis. So I use an old controller as my foot switch….reloading without moving your hands completely changes the feel, playing two gun mode is so freaking good. You do have to set player 1 reload to release and player 2 reload to press, to have the foot switch trigger for both p1&p2 in two gun mode.
@@GamingOffTheGrid only halfway there (GC1 level compatibility) but the Innovation Jolt gun (super jolt) has a foot pedal and a slider with kickback, but sadly won't work on the TC PS2 titles as they shifted to GC2. Also super expensive now a days. ua-cam.com/video/bKGByxPoNqI/v-deo.html
Correction: A Sinden Lightgun does NOT cost $400, it costs $96 ($152 for the recoil version) before shipping. I own one and extremely happy with it. its true the ultimate best experience is playing with original hardware on CRT monitors, but not everyone has space for the whole setup. so the sinden lightgun gives a very good solution and works extremely well.
I used to have vampire knighrs , but when my x wife had someone steal all my games at my old apartment, I never got it back but still have the gun con 1 and 2 .
They missed one of my favorite Lightguns for PS1 and 2 cybergun micro uzi ps2! The handling of time crisis is awesome as the button for crouch and shoot is up front. There's also a shoulder stock extension. Ebay has them.
I absolutely love my light gun games and totally agree ...the PS2 is a beast 👌 you should've covered the 2 player link up mode (maybe too niche 😂) that's a staple whenever buddies come round. I did a crappy video on it a long time ago showing how easy it is to set up 👍
Your right about the crt I have two a 27 inch Sony titantron and a 37 inch toshiba. I got a guncon 2 for 10 bucks a few years back. Just need light gun games. I also like using my flat screen that is a 1080 TV with the retrotink 5x. But I like having both bc my toshiba crt is component hookups and some games look better on crt like n64 games. Great video and love light gun games. Just need the dreamcast and ps1 light gun. Have the rest or most of them.
@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah for lightguns agree 100 percent. But just was saying in general but yeah never would do never do sengen one for flat panels. Nothing beats the og way of using light guns.
Great video, I absolutely adore light gun games even as a kid. I have the time crisis games and vampire night but I’ll have to check out that ninja game. I forget if you mentioned it in the ps1 video but a time crisis game that goes under the radar is time crisis project Titian. I believe it’s the sequel to the bonus hotel campaign of the original game. It’s a must add to the collection. My original guncon 2 crapped out on me recently, I lose picture on the TV when I plug in the AV cable. Luckily I have another so I might check out that mad cats one for the second player and it’s compatibility.
I got a wii today and really regret it. Games sucks big time but the rail games are pretty ok. Imagine if it was Ps2 lightgun. Goodness. Plus the library is so much better
Love light gun games on ps2 I have them all and all the big box games got bout 10 guncon 2s got couple of them mad catz guns also time crisis 3 definitely my favorite
I took the plunge and looked for a mas catz blue blaster and I had one on my watch list. Then OH NO! Someone bought it, and then I couldn’t find any others on eBay! Then magically the gun was RELISTED! So I took the plunge and bought it. It’s coming next week. Is the dreamcast light gun worth it?
I only own Vampire Night & Dead Aim for PS2, got em new at the time. I actually got the big box for VN & a second GunCon2 but I dunno where my big box or GunCons are at the moment. I used to love playing 2p Vampire Night with my friend, Dead Aim was fun for what it was. I might pick up the Time Crisis games at some point but I have no plans on doing any light gun stuff any time soon. Think I might even have a DC light gun, I'd have to check my 50 gal bin of DC stuff some time. I do have House of the Dead 2 so...
@@GamingOffTheGrid The bin's just buried under a bunch of stuff. Fingers crossed my memory is correct. I actually picked up a DC fishing pole controller this summer from a tag sale. Now I need a fishing game...
Also another fun light gun game for two players is starsky and hutch. Not so fun one player, but two player can be great. One person drives and the other shoots. You can use a wheel and a light gun or just a controller instead of the wheel.
Having trouble running Lethal Enforcers 1+2 on PS1 with the MadCatz Blaster. It's wildly inaccurate. One moment it's spot on, next it's 3-4 inchs off. I can't hit anything in the top 1/4 of the TV. I've tried to calibrate, and it just hits all over between shots. Have you guys tried this game with the blaster...any tips? Or maybe it's just not a good combo between the game and lightgun.
I read through the comments, did anyone mention that you can plug a controller into the appropriate port and in time crisis 2 at least all the buttons on it map out as a pedal, so step on controller for pedal function edit: while the guncon 2 is connected
You can actually use a PS1/2 controller on Time Crisis as a pedal lol! Wouldn't recommend stomping on it but it's fun if you're sitting on the couch gently pressing the buttons with a toe 🤷♂️ Not sure if that works with the PS1 Time Crisis games but I just tried it with TC3 the other day.
Mad Catz blaster is what I have X2. Love playing games on ps1 and p2 with my son having two of these. FYI, it DOES NOT WORK with Project Horned Owl sadly
I have great news I’ve been playing ps2 online lately I played a good amount of socom, jak x combat racing and mortal kombat armogedon I even posted a ps2 online vid in my channel. There are many toturials people make on how to get ps2 back online and i wanna tell you because you would be interested and I know one of you like socom that game has events for 8 to 10 on Sunday it’s pretty sick
Hey guys I love your videos. Please make video about PS1 games uses mouse. And PS2 mouse and keyboard to play unreal tournament and the most important is play Silent scope using mouse
@@GamingOffTheGrid it's complicated, Ps1 mouse can be used on PS2 to play PS1 games on it, and you must use ps plug mouse. On PS2 you can use any wired mouse or wired keyboard with usb plug, no need for original. And you can play many ps2 games on it but not ps1 games. I tried to play time crisis and didn't work. Unreal tournament yes and half life yes. Silent scope trilogy yes And many others are compatible and hope you can show the compatible games list. I have links that shows it but maybe you can get more list. On PS1 with mouse I played quake and red alert, time crisis doesn't work. Took me so much time to investigate this.
0:28: WRONG! *The Wii is the best home console for light gun games* because, of course, it comes with the ultimate light gun free of charge AND because it works on non CRTs as well as CRTs. Sony Fanboys get this wrong all the time because they tend to be incredibly ignorant of how much better the Wii is in every meaningful way. As a matter of fact, the best way to play these PS2 lightgun games in on a PC in 4K under emulation using a Wiimote! The ignorance of these guys astonishes me. Also, the Wii can play NES lightgun games under emulation and can do MAME arcade lightgun games under emulation as well.
And the DEFINITIVE version of Resident Evil 4 is the Wii version BECAUSE of the light gun features on the Wii. And there are MORE lightgun Wii games than there are PS2 lightgun games. And games like House of the Dead 2/3 and Dead Space Extraction on Wii are better than any of the tired PS2 Time Crisis games. Again, these two are really ignorant of the Wii.
But the Wii doesn’t have a traditional light gun. It’s more of a point and click type of deal. We are well aware of the light gun games on the Wii. And while it’s awesome it isn’t quite the same experience as a real light gun. I’m sure you have tried every light gun out there though making us the ignorant ones. Just read your comments back to yourself. It may astound you that you created them

Oh man you guys may have sold me on taking the plunge. I've got the CRT and PS2, none of the games or guns though. My roommate and I played the hell out of House of the Dead and Confidential Mission on the Dreamcast back in the day, but I haven't played any light gun games since. Great video as always, thanks for the info!
We think you would enjoy them if you did! Cheers brotha!
I've been waiting for this one! Cheers guys
Hope you enjoy it man! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I've had a gcon2 for a few years but only with time Crisis 2 and 3, now you guys have added to my wishlist !
Awesome man! Enjoy!
Big Ditch is a fantastic brewery! Their Hayburner is fantastic as well!
We will have to check that brew out! Cheers!
You guys, absolutely my go to channel for gaming content, proper legends! Greetings from the UK 🤘🏻
Thanks! Appreciate the support and glad you enjoy our videos! Cheers!
I love light gun games, LOVE them. But I’m still surprised people are willing to get a CRT to experience those games. I just thank God for the Wii: the console that allows you to play shooters without having a 40 pound 30” TV to lug around.
True but there is smaller crts that arent heavy and games look great on them! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid You guys do the CRT thing. Me, the moment I shoved my old CRT off a bridge was the day I was liberated from that god damn thing. I’m never going back.
Understandable!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Don’t get me wrong. If I were to stumble into a pad like y’all’s and see Time Crisis set up and ready to go, I’d grab that gun so quick it would make your head spin. I’ve just got too much trauma related to CRTs.
No joke, I’ve broken my hand having one dropped on it. I’ve also seriously strained my back moving them on several occasions. Lot of PTSD there.
They definitely strand the muscles!
I love the Namco guncon2 I played resident evil dead aim on it. As a kid I played that game so many times, I even beat it in one day. Good times!
Such a great game! We love it! Cheers!
8:47 pause
my face when someone says they don’t have room for a CRT
😂! To each their own! Cheers!
If you are playing co-op LG games you can use the FireWire port to connect the two fat ps2s for better quality.
Police 24/7 is amazing, needs the justifier and a specific webcam (list of working webcams on the wiki) to let you duck for cover with your body motion instead of a button. Sounds like it must’ve been crappy execution because no one seems to have heard of it, but if you have the right gun and compatible webcam, it’s so freaking good. Works better than any eye toy game.
Good run through. Such a great system. One of the only PS1 and PS2 sets I collect now.
Its our favorite console so we agree with you! Cheers!
Never heard of End Game before but now I need to find that and still hunting for Ninja Assault. I’m hoping in the next year to build a cabinet with many consoles dedicated to just light gun games. Great video! Cheers 🍻
You will enjoy! That sounds like an awesome plan! Cheers!
Light guns are my life on every console 😂
We absolutely love them! It’s how the channel was started
This is a great, informative video. I've got a little retro setup already with my PS2 and N64 hooked up to a CRT TV, so all I really need is the mad catz gun controller and to find a few games and I'm good to go.
Sounds like a plan! You will enjoy! Cheers!
Excellent! I love lightgun games and have been getting into PS2 lately. Think i am going to do a free mcboot rig. I also just picked up a couple ps3 Move sets so plan to look into the PS3 "light gun" games next.
ua-cam.com/video/kVEtUhiUc9c/v-deo.html heres our PS3 lightgun buying guide
You guys are really bringing great content!
Thanks man! Glad you are enjoying it! Cheers!
yowsers no mention of the Virtua Cop series which is excellent on the PS2 and Gcon2 compatible. I loves my PS2 lightgun games, we have regular challenges on the TC2 mini games.
We did mention it, but it was never released in the US, so we didn’t talk much about it
I have always loved light gun games and now my son does as well. I actually liked Re-Survivor a lot. I have never seen Endgame so thank you I will be looking for that one!
Awesome that you and your son can create those memories together! Cheers!
I didn’t even know the Mad Catz gun existed. I’ve picked up both the Guncon 1 and 2 for cheap, but the Madz Catz looks like a good option for me to get in case I wanna play coop on a game compatible with only one of the Guncons.
It would be a good option for that! You will enjoy it! Cheers!
You guys are just draining my wallet the more incredible games you recommend
Lol we hear you! We always finding new things we want to buy! Cheers!
If you have a controller plugged into player 2 port, every single button on that controller acts like the foot switch for time crisis. So I use an old controller as my foot switch….reloading without moving your hands completely changes the feel, playing two gun mode is so freaking good. You do have to set player 1 reload to release and player 2 reload to press, to have the foot switch trigger for both p1&p2 in two gun mode.
Exactly how I used to play
LOL!!! Haven't tried that method but bet your ass we will be soon. Cheers!
I wish they make a gun that has the slide moving back and forth like the actual Time Crisis gun. So far all of these feels like toys.
That would be so cool and if they did we would buy it day one! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid only halfway there (GC1 level compatibility) but the Innovation Jolt gun (super jolt) has a foot pedal and a slider with kickback, but sadly won't work on the TC PS2 titles as they shifted to GC2. Also super expensive now a days. ua-cam.com/video/bKGByxPoNqI/v-deo.html
Wow 1 year later and the Madcatz Blaster is 3x the price on eBay. Hate that!
same
I have a Guncon 2 and Time Crisis 2 and 3. Hope to add more.
Great games! We love light gun games so we think you will enjoy more games! Cheers!
RAMBO The Arcade Game by Sega, awsome rail shooter
Yeah it is! Love me some Rambo! Cheers!
Correction: A Sinden Lightgun does NOT cost $400, it costs $96 ($152 for the recoil version) before shipping. I own one and extremely happy with it. its true the ultimate best experience is playing with original hardware on CRT monitors, but not everyone has space for the whole setup. so the sinden lightgun gives a very good solution and works extremely well.
Your probably correct! Wasnt saying it as the literal price! And we respect your opinion! Cheers!
I used to have vampire knighrs , but when my x wife had someone steal all my games at my old apartment, I never got it back but still have the gun con 1 and 2 .
Oh man thats terrible to hear! Glad you have something left! Cheers!
They missed one of my favorite Lightguns for PS1 and 2 cybergun micro uzi ps2! The handling of time crisis is awesome as the button for crouch and shoot is up front. There's also a shoulder stock extension. Ebay has them.
I hope you do a similar episode on the PS3 and any backwards compatibility issues for PS2 light gun games.
Did one a couple years ago. Cheers 🍻
ua-cam.com/video/kVEtUhiUc9c/v-deo.html
I went one step further and put a hard drive in my modded PS2 and loaded all the gun games on it.
That would be pretty awesome! PS2 is full of bangers! Cheers!
I absolutely love my light gun games and totally agree ...the PS2 is a beast 👌
you should've covered the 2 player link up mode (maybe too niche 😂) that's a staple whenever buddies come round.
I did a crappy video on it a long time ago showing how easy it is to set up 👍
Yeah we never do it that way is why that didnt come to mind! You are right though! Cheers!
Your right about the crt I have two a 27 inch Sony titantron and a 37 inch toshiba. I got a guncon 2 for 10 bucks a few years back. Just need light gun games. I also like using my flat screen that is a 1080 TV with the retrotink 5x. But I like having both bc my toshiba crt is component hookups and some games look better on crt like n64 games. Great video and love light gun games. Just need the dreamcast and ps1 light gun. Have the rest or most of them.
100% CRTs is our preferred tv for lightguns! Doesnt look better any other way! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah for lightguns agree 100 percent. But just was saying in general but yeah never would do never do sengen one for flat panels. Nothing beats the og way of using light guns.
Great video, I absolutely adore light gun games even as a kid. I have the time crisis games and vampire night but I’ll have to check out that ninja game.
I forget if you mentioned it in the ps1 video but a time crisis game that goes under the radar is time crisis project Titian. I believe it’s the sequel to the bonus hotel campaign of the original game. It’s a must add to the collection.
My original guncon 2 crapped out on me recently, I lose picture on the TV when I plug in the AV cable. Luckily I have another so I might check out that mad cats one for the second player and it’s compatibility.
Yeah we love Project Titan! You will like the MadCatz! Cheers!
I have a copy of endgame. Just need to get a light guy and crt now,lol
lol! You will enjoy it! Cheers!
You need to do a 3DO lightgun guide, i've watched all your other light gun videos
Wish we had one man. Maybe some day
I got a wii today and really regret it. Games sucks big time but the rail games are pretty ok.
Imagine if it was Ps2 lightgun.
Goodness.
Plus the library is so much better
Love light gun games on ps2 I have them all and all the big box games got bout 10 guncon 2s got couple of them mad catz guns also time crisis 3 definitely my favorite
Thats awesome! Best way to play lightgun games! Cheers!
I already have a PS2 and a CRT. This seems like an easy choice. Am I right that there aren’t a whole lot of OG Xbox light gun games?
You are correct. House of the Dead III & Silent Scope Complete is all I believe we got in NA.
I took the plunge and looked for a mas catz blue blaster and I had one on my watch list. Then OH NO! Someone bought it, and then I couldn’t find any others on eBay! Then magically the gun was RELISTED! So I took the plunge and bought it. It’s coming next week.
Is the dreamcast light gun worth it?
What on earth. I didn't know endgame was a rail shooter. Got to check it out! Great video :D
Its a great rail man! You will enjoy! Cheers!
I only own Vampire Night & Dead Aim for PS2, got em new at the time. I actually got the big box for VN & a second GunCon2 but I dunno where my big box or GunCons are at the moment. I used to love playing 2p Vampire Night with my friend, Dead Aim was fun for what it was. I might pick up the Time Crisis games at some point but I have no plans on doing any light gun stuff any time soon.
Think I might even have a DC light gun, I'd have to check my 50 gal bin of DC stuff some time. I do have House of the Dead 2 so...
Great game! Good luck finding the DC Gun! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid The bin's just buried under a bunch of stuff. Fingers crossed my memory is correct.
I actually picked up a DC fishing pole controller this summer from a tag sale. Now I need a fishing game...
We actually never used the fishing pole! Be cool to try it out!
Do a review of all different light guns for the ps2. I'd watch it.
That might be a possibility in the future! Cheers!
Also another fun light gun game for two players is starsky and hutch. Not so fun one player, but two player can be great. One person drives and the other shoots. You can use a wheel and a light gun or just a controller instead of the wheel.
That sounds great! Will have to find that bad boy! Enjoyed the movie! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid best on the Xbox with the Xbox version of that same madcatz light gun.
Thanks!
Now I want a Slim PS2
From our experience they are definitely built for the long haul
Why do we not have a dedicated CRT for light gun games at the MO Game Con house? 2023, let's make it happen. Specifically some Time Crisis.
Sounds like a plan! It would be a great addition! Cheers!
That Mad Catz handgun...is calling my name
You will enjoy it! Feels gold in the hands! Cheers!
Awesome! Been waiting for this one!💯
Glad you enjoyed it man! Cheers!
Having trouble running Lethal Enforcers 1+2 on PS1 with the MadCatz Blaster. It's wildly inaccurate. One moment it's spot on, next it's 3-4 inchs off. I can't hit anything in the top 1/4 of the TV. I've tried to calibrate, and it just hits all over between shots. Have you guys tried this game with the blaster...any tips? Or maybe it's just not a good combo between the game and lightgun.
We havent! We would have to check that out to see what the deal is! Not sure why it would do that! Cheers!
I read through the comments, did anyone mention that you can plug a controller into the appropriate port and in time crisis 2 at least all the buttons on it map out as a pedal, so step on controller for pedal function
edit: while the guncon 2 is connected
They have and we didnt know and appreciate people telling us this! Cheers!
You guys are my go to on light gun games.
Awesome! Glad we can point you into the right direction! Cheers!
You can actually use a PS1/2 controller on Time Crisis as a pedal lol! Wouldn't recommend stomping on it but it's fun if you're sitting on the couch gently pressing the buttons with a toe 🤷♂️ Not sure if that works with the PS1 Time Crisis games but I just tried it with TC3 the other day.
Yeah that is true! We were more speaking of the guns! Cheers!
Can also use a DDR mat if you have one lying around.
I have that same toshiba 15 inch TV you just showed 😂 epic.
Sweet man! I have 3 or so of them and they work perfect for lightgun games! Cheers!
My lightgun was the Logic3 Laser Blaster P99L with laser dot :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
We arent as familar with that type! Sounds like a good one! Cheers!
Mad Catz blaster is what I have X2. Love playing games on ps1 and p2 with my son having two of these. FYI, it DOES NOT WORK with Project Horned Owl sadly
It such a great light gun! We didnt know it didnt work for that game! Good to know! Cheers!
I have great news I’ve been playing ps2 online lately I played a good amount of socom, jak x combat racing and mortal kombat armogedon I even posted a ps2 online vid in my channel. There are many toturials people make on how to get ps2 back online and i wanna tell you because you would be interested and I know one of you like socom that game has events for 8 to 10 on Sunday it’s pretty sick
Thats awesome and sounds fun! Cheers!
Check out NRA Gun Club. You laugh (and so did I) but its the most realistic gun physics I’ve seen in a video game.
Wish we got a PS2 edition of the Point Blank series
No doubt! Loved those games
Hey guys I love your videos.
Please make video about PS1 games uses mouse.
And PS2 mouse and keyboard to play unreal tournament and the most important is play Silent scope using mouse
Maybe someday! Need to gain more knowledge on the subject! Glad you love our videos! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid it's complicated,
Ps1 mouse can be used on PS2 to play PS1 games on it, and you must use ps plug mouse.
On PS2 you can use any wired mouse or wired keyboard with usb plug, no need for original.
And you can play many ps2 games on it but not ps1 games.
I tried to play time crisis and didn't work.
Unreal tournament yes and half life yes.
Silent scope trilogy yes
And many others are compatible and hope you can show the compatible games list.
I have links that shows it but maybe you can get more list.
On PS1 with mouse I played quake and red alert, time crisis doesn't work.
Took me so much time to investigate this.
Another PS2 lightgun game we had in Europe I am not sure if it released in the u.s.a. Is “Guncom 2”.If you Guys missed it..😉
Yep we own the bad boy! Great game! Cheers!
0:28: WRONG! *The Wii is the best home console for light gun games* because, of course, it comes with the ultimate light gun free of charge AND because it works on non CRTs as well as CRTs. Sony Fanboys get this wrong all the time because they tend to be incredibly ignorant of how much better the Wii is in every meaningful way. As a matter of fact, the best way to play these PS2 lightgun games in on a PC in 4K under emulation using a Wiimote! The ignorance of these guys astonishes me.
Also, the Wii can play NES lightgun games under emulation and can do MAME arcade lightgun games under emulation as well.
And the DEFINITIVE version of Resident Evil 4 is the Wii version BECAUSE of the light gun features on the Wii. And there are MORE lightgun Wii games than there are PS2 lightgun games. And games like House of the Dead 2/3 and Dead Space Extraction on Wii are better than any of the tired PS2 Time Crisis games. Again, these two are really ignorant of the Wii.
But the Wii doesn’t have a traditional light gun. It’s more of a point and click type of deal. We are well aware of the light gun games on the Wii. And while it’s awesome it isn’t quite the same experience as a real light gun. I’m sure you have tried every light gun out there though making us the ignorant ones. Just read your comments back to yourself. It may astound you that you created them
😂. Check out our Wii light gun buying guide.
Love these! I’m hyped
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy them! Cheers!
