Back when I was a kid I only got to play area 51 a handful of times in arcade and once on ps1 but with controller(definitely can't touch light gun gameplay lol). But I did buy the ps1 big box time crisis. Played the absolute shit out of that game...could get 100% accuracy the first few stages. And that was before taping a laser pointer along the top rail... calibrated to the dot Few months ago got my gameroom mostly set up...good ol 27" toshiba back in use. And just recently found TC Project Titan at local game store. Still haven't played it though, had a rough day today and wanting to unwind...saved it for today... Happy lightgun shooting:)
I absolutely LOVE the Die Hard 2 levels in Die Hard Trilogy. My pathetic gaming crowning achievement is beating it using an original controller with the d-pad. If you guys ever run across a Mad Catz Fazor it’s well worth picking up. Very light & feels awesome in the hand. Plus it came with swappable ends so that it could be used with a PS1 or Saturn.
I think you can use a regular PS1 controller as the floor button for Time Crisis. Give it a go. I don't think it matters what button you press with your foot.
Damn that cracked me up. Thinking of my ps1 controller on the floor and my nasty big toe pressing buttons to duck/reload lol. I had a laser pointer taped to my original guncon so I had aim assist for t crisis and point blank. Until my cousin told me that's probably not a good idea because it might burn out individual pixels on my 27" Toshiba back in the day. Not sure if that's accurate but my TV never failed and is still used to this day. Really really miss those times...better days!
Definitely works. I actually just held the controller in my left hand and pushed the button normally. Slightly faster than using my foot and a lot less awkward lol.
I was pretty sad when I found out my GunCon didnt work with Die Hard. Ended up finding a third party gun that worked, ton of fun. The sequel thankfully does work with the GunCon tho! Very nice comprehensive video, as always guys! You guys always be killing it
I love light guns i bought a 50 inch crt to enjoy all my lightgun game. Also if you have a justifier and silent hill you can plug the justifier into the 2nd port to get the blaster from the start of the game
With ammo shortages and the price of ammunition skyrocketing, I will have to dust of my old Guncon and CRT for some shooting range fun. Also you are 100% correct, the Point Blank games are a must. If they had been ported to the Wii I would have made mess in trousers, lol. 😄 Great video guys, thank you.
Judge dredd ps1 with all the chessy fmvs & Project horned howl with character/ enemy designs /cutscenes by the artist Masamune Shirow of Ghost in a shell fame.The fact that game is still affordable is a blessing.The Nuby light 🔫 is what I like best with rumble and many other features such as three speeds of rapid fire+auto reload!🙀also supports the Saturn 🪐. 😍Project titan and Elemental gearbolt are amazing.Point blank 2 is my fav of the three.I hope for a PS2 lightgun video yall include 🦇Vampire Night🦇🥳
Thank you! I played Elemental Gearbolt back when the game came out and remember having an AMAZING time with it. As I've gotten older though, I had completely forgotten the name of the game! It was easily my favorite back in the day, even trumping Area 51 simply for it's unique gameplay.
The Logic 3 P99L is the best lightgun hand down, fully compatible with PS1/2 works for every game and has BLOW BACK! It’s also just as accurate as the Guncon1/2 Highly recommended
Awesome video guys. You can tell you put a lot of work into this. I had no clue about so many of these and they look fun! But yes please do PS2 next then PS3 move!!! I think a cool video idea would be a best CRT TV's for retro gaming and you can show off what you have and what ones are best for what consoles, light guns, etc. I would love that video!
@@GamingOffTheGrid oh sweet! Thank you. I just found a couple move controllers and a Sony gun holder at the thrift store so now I have to pick up some games!
Cool vid guys. There is another game by Namco called Ghoul Panic. Its similar to Point Blank and was in the arcades as well. Not a lot of people know about it. I believe it only came out on PS1 in PAL regions. I have a copy myself. Its worth checking out if you're a fan of the Namco arcade party shooters. 😊
Unfortunately ntsc-U/C players can't utilize a PAL CRT TV in North America without quite a lot of power source finagling and even then it's not likely going to work. .....Was frustrated to read about a sequel to PS1's Jesse James - a character from the North American - having a PAL territory sequel release supporting lightgun on the PS2 but North America didn't.
Nice video bros. Just had a stiff Jack Daniels drink and got super educated on PS1 light gun games. Am I going to go out and buy a CRT TV and all of the original accessories for my PlayStation? Absolutely not. Did this video kick ass? Absolutely yes.
I always loved light gun games in the arcade and at home. Thanks for all the info and research. It’s very helpful. Would love to see one for the PS2, as well.
Great video and content guys! As a side note, if you’re playing PS1 games on your PS2 you must use a PS1 memory card for saves. You can’t save using PS2 memory cards.
Great video guys! I love playing light gun games with my son and we have played a lot of them, but you showed us one that we did not know about. Videos and games like this bring people together.
Thank you guys for this video! So great! Seeing these games that I used to have brought back so many awesome memories! If memory serves right, I used the Mad Catz steering wheel foot pedals in port 2 for Time Crisis for duck/ reload.I also used a 2nd PS controller for the same thing. Try it out if you can and let me know. 👍🏻😁🍺
Picked up a CRT and an NES Zapper and goddamn if there isn’t something just so satisfying about using a light gun. Fingers crossed the geniuses who put a man on the moon can figure out a way to make ones that work on modern TVs one day!
I feel this is a genre of game that many people overlook for the most part. So this was a fantastic watch guys. Hope to try out some of these games at some point. So many great pointers and things to do in the start up to beginning to collect and play some very fun games. I will admit this is not a genre I'm too familiar with outside of the arcades, but having that experience at home is just an incredible thing that is a possibility, closest I think I've come is the gun controller for the Cabela's games on PS3/Xbox 360. Another incredible watch, always such entertaining, and informative content from you guys, keep up all the amazing work. #Roadto21k - I think a continuation of this for the PS2 (and even into the PS3) would be great. Cheers boys.
Its very overlooked! When casual gamers think lightgun games they think arcade more than consoles! We already have a ps3 lightgun buying guide video! If you filter to our most popular videos its number 3 for an easy way to find it! We plan to do the ps2 lightgun buying guide in the future! Cheers!
Some of the flat CRT televisions have issues in the corners with games. Go curved tube, not flat. Got to say the Logic 3 Predator 2 light gun is my favorite light gun. Fits great in the hand , works on PS1, PS2, and Sega Saturn. Very accurate. Has lots of nice features, Foot pedal, and Rumble. Works with Justafier games and Guncon Games. Elemental Gearbolt is an amazing game! Great soundtrack, and the score system is very unique. Looking forward to the Saturn and PS2 episodes. Great episode guys. Thanks for all the hard work.
I invested in an XStation ODE for my ps1 and managed to pick up a Guncon for 20 bucks at a local used video game store. The sheer amount of fun for essentially 20 bucks is incredible.
Just found this video because I was looking for an old Lightgun game where you were shooting like, horror monsters and gargoyles. Stayed because of the Raven shirt. ECW! Hell yeah dude.
Love the content guys. Light gun games are so underrated and with todays tech could be so awesome for modern consoles and I don’t know why they ever stopped. Another PS1 light gun game I love though is resident evil: survivor. Probably top 3 for me on the ps1 although I haven’t played elemental gearbolt.
Star Wars Rebel Assault II supports the Konami Gun and if you plug the Konami Gun on the Player 2 port while playing Sillent Hill you unlock the Hyper Blaster in game.
Love the mighty ps1 ! This is my fav console to this day for reasons like this! Awesome watch guys! Also love the amazing original wii for the same reason. The Wii is a light gun fans dream!!! Wii is also one of my fav consoles. Y’all should do a Wii light gun review . Much love guys
Have Area 51, Crypt Killer, and Maximum Force on Saturn, love them all here! Still need The Justifier with Project Horned Owl (you found it since MGC already!?!) and Lethal Enforcers. Then the Point Blank games and the grail - Elemental Gearbolt.
I noticed a lot of people want to get into retro light Gun gaming, but getting a CRT TV is to big of a hurdle for them. CRT TV's are heavy , bulky and can be an all around pain in the ass. But you don't have to go that big.. I have a 15 CRT TV that I play light Gun games on and it's great. I just bought an old 17 monitor that works great as well. I love these old 15 to 20 inch TV and monitors. They are lite weight and very easy to move place to place. They are also cheap and easy to find. So don't let getting a CRT TV stop you from getting into retro light Gun games. And trust me, the PS1 and PS2 have the best light Gun games of any consoles.👍🤩
I actually just bought a gun-con two weeks ago, so this video came at the right time! By the way, I also played Ninja Assault (on PS2) and Moorhen 3 (PS1) with it this week. Works perfect!
I have a light gun that is never mentioned. It works on all PlayStation 1 and 2 light gun games just changing the switch from 3 options. Regular, guncon 1& 2.
Yeah, the reason the Guncon is so accurate is because it pulls sync from the composite line. Also, there is some really dope microswitch mods for the Guncon family that makes it feel even more like the arcade. I keep a PS1 with an optical drive emulator exactly for games like Elemental Gearbolt. Dope game, but I don't think I'll ever own a physical copy (albeit a miracle) All the Point Blank games are money, too!
Time Crisis started my love for light gun games about a year ago! I've since gotten light guns and a bunch of compatible games for NES, Saturn, PS1, and PS2. Resident Evil Survivor for PS1 supports the GunCon in the Japanese and European versions, but not in the North American version (there is a patch online that restores it). Japan got Gunvari Collection + Time Crisis, a PS2 compilation of Point Blank 1-3 and Time Crisis 1 all on one disc! It's about $35-$40 nowadays, quite a bit cheaper than getting all four games individually. A neat perk I found was improved load times for Time Crisis over the original PS1 disc (can't speak for the Point Blank games). I was a little disappointed, though, to find out it only supports the GunCon 2, instead of both the GunCon 1 and 2.
Man this video couldn't have came at a better time for me, just recently scored a GunCon 1 with Time Crisis 2 and 3, and I already have a nice trinitron that is lightgun compatible. Was really looking to jump in to the PS1 era because I had never heard of several of these, and definitely didn't know the Justifier came to PS1. You guys should definitely make a PS2 light gun guide, I can always trust your guys opinion especially after this recent House of the Dead remake, everyone else I watched really overhyped the Switch port where you guys delivered the truth. Cheers!
I wanted to add that if the pedal isn't working, reviews for that thing have been horrendous for it not working, pick up a steering wheel that plugs into the controller port, not USB if using a PS2. For Gun Fighters, in particular, & probably Time Crisis, haven't tried it, you can put a racing wheel in controller port 2 & use the pedals as your "action" button. I use a Mad Catz MC2 for my PS2 setup. I don't think it works for the PS1 itself but for PS1 played on PS2, works great.
Trust me from my personal experience, if you suspect the retro stuff will piss off your wife, chances are it most certainly will. If you care about your marriage, the retro game stuff is not worth it.
i still remember how ground break it was to play cds on some of these old consoles people loved it time to time me and my buddiew would do it. it was definitely a big thing
@@GamingOffTheGrid don't forget the visuals of dancing lines on the TV. Lol . But I still remember when I had all hooked up to to the stereo receiver nothing says 90's game night like playing tomb raider or twisted metal in surround sound
Good to see PS1 love at GOTG studios! Thanks for dropping some knowledge on light gun games for the system, as much as I love the PS1 I haven’t gotten a chance to dive into these. Totally looking forward to a everything PS2 related light gun episode. So many damn good games I’d love to hear your thoughts on as well. Dope episode broskis..cheers!
Totally understand on the feel of crt and light gun games. I have area 51, v cop 1 and 2. The kids get so excited when I break out the saturn light guns. Virtual porn is great, but nothing ever beats out the real thing. Just like video games
I'll add that some PS1 games do not work on the PS2. But alot of the games do work, for example Spyro the Dragon for instance, there's been alot of games that were unsupported on the PS2 for various reasons, but it is what it is...
Great episode dudes! I had loaned my Elemental Gearbolt to a friend back in 99' and his house was robbed. Then I was stupid enough to trade in a big box Point Blank 1 for probably a PS2 game. . . 😩
Just a quick note - if you’re playing PS1 light gun games using two linked consoles/two CRT TVs, then you’ll need to use original PS1 consoles. The PS2 can play all the games, but the PS2 iLink cable can’t emulate a PS1 serial cable.
I think my personal favorites are Time Crisis and Lethal Enforcers. I tried getting into Elemental Gearbolt, but I couldn't, it's just too dark and depressing for a light gun game. Project: Horned Owl was okay, though. And I prefer Area 51 over Maximum Force, at least that one had a final boss battle, while Maximum Force did not.
I had a Konami Justifier back in the day, played the heck out of Area 51, Project: Horned Owl, Die Hard Trilogy, and Lethal Enforcers I & II This was 1-2 years before Namco released the GunCon I hope Sinden releases a wireless gun with a PlayStation (or even Saturn) port one day A friend of mine had two Stunners for his Saturn, which was great for dual gun gameplay on Virtua Cop
I don't know why the cheat for this game never gets discussed but for Area 51 if you shoot the first 3 cops in the back, the game reboots and you start as the aliens. It's a cool twist.
I have a ps2 that I haven’t played in a long time I just found it today and Decided to plug it, it connected perfectly to the power but it doesn’t go beyond the red dot and I don’t know what can be the problem? Can you help?
Holy shit that first gun the snot cannon 9000 looks sick but I want that gold badboy omg I could picture it now goldcon in one hand nuts in the other and unleashing the wrath from within in time crisis like John Matrix (Commando) & John Rambo (Rambo) quote the raven nevermore.
About Konami/Normal-style light gun controllers; which ones would you say are the most accurate? I'm starting to think my 4Gamers Ballistic xk10 (apart from the lights) isn't good...
I have 20 game consoles and the lights guns I love them and most of the lights gun games I love the 3do console and the fmv games I have all of them and five 3do light gunsi I all of my consoles and light gun games thanks for the awesome video.
I'll I need are the Time Crisis and Point Blank games. I never get bored playing them. Love the cover system of the Time Crisis games. With enough practice you can easily 1CC all of them. Not a fan of games like House of the Dead with all the cheap unescapable deaths.
We have the Madcats gun on Dreamcast that has the Dreamcast logo on it. We have the Pelican one as well and it ok but not as good as the Madcats gun. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!
So I just picked up a PS1 light gun for super cheap to get started on PS1 light gun games. Its a Nuby brand called The Heater, it is shaped like the Guncon 1 but dosn't have the AV plug on it just the PS1 plug. It also has a tun of other buttons on it. Would you say that it probably only works with Justifier games? I just saw a box version of the gun and on the box it says it is not compatible with Guncon games except if you get the light gun foot pedal to convert it. Very intersting.
Please cover the system link ps2 time crisis shit I'm literally building a custom cabinet with two CRTs for system link light gun regular light gun game and linked racers keep kicking ass guys Lovin the light guns
There are some flat screen CRT's that have troubles, but it's hit or miss. It's usually because of geometry issues and the guns get less accurate as you start shooting closer to the edges of the screen. My Sony WEGA will work, if the game has the option to calibrate.
Just the episode I wanted to see!
I actually started collecting lightgun games for the PS1 a week ago. So many good ones!
yeah the ps1 light gun game library has tons of good choices. enjoy
Area 51 is my favorite light gun game, I legitimately bought 2 Justifiers (one CIB) just to enjoy it the best way possible lmao
Love Area 51 and the PS1 port is so good!
Back when I was a kid I only got to play area 51 a handful of times in arcade and once on ps1 but with controller(definitely can't touch light gun gameplay lol). But I did buy the ps1 big box time crisis. Played the absolute shit out of that game...could get 100% accuracy the first few stages. And that was before taping a laser pointer along the top rail... calibrated to the dot
Few months ago got my gameroom mostly set up...good ol 27" toshiba back in use. And just recently found TC Project Titan at local game store. Still haven't played it though, had a rough day today and wanting to unwind...saved it for today...
Happy lightgun shooting:)
I absolutely LOVE the Die Hard 2 levels in Die Hard Trilogy. My pathetic gaming crowning achievement is beating it using an original controller with the d-pad. If you guys ever run across a Mad Catz Fazor it’s well worth picking up. Very light & feels awesome in the hand. Plus it came with swappable ends so that it could be used with a PS1 or Saturn.
I think you can use a regular PS1 controller as the floor button for Time Crisis. Give it a go. I don't think it matters what button you press with your foot.
Damn that cracked me up. Thinking of my ps1 controller on the floor and my nasty big toe pressing buttons to duck/reload lol.
I had a laser pointer taped to my original guncon so I had aim assist for t crisis and point blank. Until my cousin told me that's probably not a good idea because it might burn out individual pixels on my 27" Toshiba back in the day. Not sure if that's accurate but my TV never failed and is still used to this day.
Really really miss those times...better days!
No just no 🤣
Definitely works. I actually just held the controller in my left hand and pushed the button normally. Slightly faster than using my foot and a lot less awkward lol.
I was pretty sad when I found out my GunCon didnt work with Die Hard. Ended up finding a third party gun that worked, ton of fun. The sequel thankfully does work with the GunCon tho! Very nice comprehensive video, as always guys! You guys always be killing it
I love light guns i bought a 50 inch crt to enjoy all my lightgun game. Also if you have a justifier and silent hill you can plug the justifier into the 2nd port to get the blaster from the start of the game
would just like to say guys thanks for the light gun videos 1 and 2 help me buy what i wanted many thanks
Thanks guys... This video helped me a lot. This is the first time I've ever seen your channel. Really cool!!!😀👍👍👍
With ammo shortages and the price of ammunition skyrocketing, I will have to dust of my old Guncon and CRT for some shooting range fun. Also you are 100% correct, the Point Blank games are a must. If they had been ported to the Wii I would have made mess in trousers, lol. 😄 Great video guys, thank you.
I have five Japan's light guns it toke me four years to get them all I love light guns and the games you guys are awesome.
Thats awesome man! We want more Japanese guns! Cheers!

I totally needed this. I just recently acquired a PS1 light gun but I don’t have any games for it. Now I know what to look for!

Great video and content guys! As a side note, if you’re playing PS1 games on your PS2 you must use a PS1 memory card for saves. You can’t save using PS2 memory cards.
that is correct. because the games are set to search for the ps1 memory cards when you go to save

Man this video couldn't have came at a better time for me, just recently scored a GunCon 1 with Time Crisis 2 and 3, and I already have a nice trinitron that is lightgun compatible. Was really looking to jump in to the PS1 era because I had never heard of several of these, and definitely didn't know the Justifier came to PS1. You guys should definitely make a PS2 light gun guide, I can always trust your guys opinion especially after this recent House of the Dead remake, everyone else I watched really overhyped the Switch port where you guys delivered the truth. Cheers!
Hell ya! Enjoy the journey brotha!
Was PS1 snatcher compatible with Konami Justifier? Or is that just the Sega versions?
I wanted to add that if the pedal isn't working, reviews for that thing have been horrendous for it not working, pick up a steering wheel that plugs into the controller port, not USB if using a PS2.
For Gun Fighters, in particular, & probably Time Crisis, haven't tried it, you can put a racing wheel in controller port 2 & use the pedals as your "action" button.
I use a Mad Catz MC2 for my PS2 setup. I don't think it works for the PS1 itself but for PS1 played on PS2, works great.
Light gun games never get the love they deserve. I really enjoyed this one. Great job guys.
its one of our favorite styles of games. one of the main reasons for this channel. glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 🍻
Absolutely, a light gun buying guide video for PS2 would be awesome!
Stay tuned Bro! There will be one in the future! Cheers!
Excellent video lads.....right up my street
Now I absolutely need to get Elemental Gearbolt👌
yeah you will definitely enjoy. hope all is well cheers
What is that amazing TV boys?? Love it. Rank A Rena here 😀
I definitely want to see a PS2 Guide. My wife is going to kill me with all this retro stuff I am looking for.
Trust me from my personal experience, if you suspect the retro stuff will piss off your wife, chances are it most certainly will. If you care about your marriage, the retro game stuff is not worth it.
we definitely will release one in the future bro. lol yeah it definitely can break the bank
@Spartan77 finally somebody with some sense! I see all kinds of idiots telling people to divorce their wives or dump their girlfriend over this shit!
Great job laying it all out. I traded my ps1 first Gen for a wiiu like 3 years ago . For me it just became a cd player
i still remember how ground break it was to play cds on some of these old consoles people loved it time to time me and my buddiew would do it. it was definitely a big thing
@@GamingOffTheGrid don't forget the visuals of dancing lines on the TV. Lol . But I still remember when I had all hooked up to to the stereo receiver nothing says 90's game night like playing tomb raider or twisted metal in surround sound
I bought by the time the Logic 3 P99K Light Blaster gun with its own foot pedal. Its Guncon and Justifier compatible just by turning a switch
Good to see PS1 love at GOTG studios! Thanks for dropping some knowledge on light gun games for the system, as much as I love the PS1 I haven’t gotten a chance to dive into these.
Totally looking forward to a everything PS2 related light gun episode. So many damn good games I’d love to hear your thoughts on as well. Dope episode broskis..cheers!
yeah we plan on doing one of those episodes also. glad you enjoyed bro cheers
i like the sega stunner (without a squeaky springy trigger). wish they made more controllers like them
yeah ive used that once it had a good feel. i csnt think of another like it
PS1 Time Gaming Off The Grid Style Like The Hat And Shirt Guys Much Love And Respect
hell yeah thanks for watching man cheers
@@GamingOffTheGrid all good in the retro neighborhood
Totally understand on the feel of crt and light gun games. I have area 51, v cop 1 and 2. The kids get so excited when I break out the saturn light guns. Virtual porn is great, but nothing ever beats out the real thing. Just like video games
Bro are you trying for comment of the month 2 in a row!? Couldn’t have said it better myself. Cheers 🍻
@@GamingOffTheGrid hey, a man can dream right 😆
The Point Blank and Time Crisis series were the all time best light gun games.
I'll add that some PS1 games do not work on the PS2. But alot of the games do work, for example Spyro the Dragon for instance, there's been alot of games that were unsupported on the PS2 for various reasons, but it is what it is...
they are definitely great iconic games that we enjoy
I need to get more PS1 light gun games. They are so much fun 😎
Nyko super Cobra work on all ps1 games an has av hook up its what I use
That was awesome I'd love to see a Dreamcast light gun video
Yes! 🤘🍻
yeah that could be a future episode we will have to discuss it
Great episode dudes! I had loaned my Elemental Gearbolt to a friend back in 99' and his house was robbed. Then I was stupid enough to trade in a big box Point Blank 1 for probably a PS2 game. . . 😩
damn unlucky twice. glad you enjoyed the episode
Just a quick note - if you’re playing PS1 light gun games using two linked consoles/two CRT TVs, then you’ll need to use original PS1 consoles.
The PS2 can play all the games, but the PS2 iLink cable can’t emulate a PS1 serial cable.
thats a good idea. thanks bro cheers
Any word on guns with recoil?
Not that we know about.
Just bought a Guncon 2 and some games for it! Would love a PS2 Lightgun video!
Yes! 🍻🕹️🎮🤘
I got Resident Evil Dead Aim, Dino Stalker, and Time Crisis 3. Any others I should check out?
theres a very good possibility you will see one sit tight.
The Nyko gun...which is really good works with both.
It is a very solid gun for sure! Cheers!
I think my personal favorites are Time Crisis and Lethal Enforcers. I tried getting into Elemental Gearbolt, but I couldn't, it's just too dark and depressing for a light gun game. Project: Horned Owl was okay, though. And I prefer Area 51 over Maximum Force, at least that one had a final boss battle, while Maximum Force did not.
I had a Konami Justifier back in the day, played the heck out of Area 51, Project: Horned Owl, Die Hard Trilogy, and Lethal Enforcers I & II
This was 1-2 years before Namco released the GunCon
I hope Sinden releases a wireless gun with a PlayStation (or even Saturn) port one day
A friend of mine had two Stunners for his Saturn, which was great for dual gun gameplay on Virtua Cop
Oh by the way the Nykon guncon version has kickback as well. It's an awesome gun!!
Yeah we noticed that! We like it! Feels like a real gun! Cheers!
I don't know why the cheat for this game never gets discussed but for Area 51 if you shoot the first 3 cops in the back, the game reboots and you start as the aliens. It's a cool twist.
thats pretty cool we actually didnt knoe that. now we will have to test that out. thanks for the tip cheers
@@GamingOffTheGrid Just don't shoot anything else but the first 3 STARS or it won't work.
Love this!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers!
I have a ps2 that I haven’t played in a long time I just found it today and Decided to plug it, it connected perfectly to the power but it doesn’t go beyond the red dot and I don’t know what can be the problem? Can you help?
Holy shit that first gun the snot cannon 9000 looks sick but I want that gold badboy omg I could picture it now goldcon in one hand nuts in the other and unleashing the wrath from within in time crisis like John Matrix (Commando) & John Rambo (Rambo) quote the raven nevermore.
The Guncon was the best by faaaar. There was a cool yellow one called "The Protector" was a great lightgun but didn't work on a few games sadly.
We heard of it but never owned one! It looks awesome! Cheers!
Have you fellas tried Ghoul Panic by Namco which is like a spooky Point Blank? It looks like it didn't cone out in the US maybe
Yes! ps2 please!! Keep up the good work fellas!
very good chance you see it in the future. cheers man
I was about to was why wes' beer looked different til the end of the video
A lot of really fun rail shooting games on the ps1
yeah the library of ps1 lightgun games is great. one of the best eras of light gun games
i love light gun games. i have most of them for my saturn and ps1. my guncon is black.
Love the Sony introduction 😂😂. I love light gun games.
yeah that intro still gets me pumped up so iconic. we love light gun games also. one of the main reasons for the channel 🍻
About Konami/Normal-style light gun controllers;
which ones would you say are the most accurate?
I'm starting to think my 4Gamers Ballistic xk10 (apart from the lights) isn't good...
We just like the good ole GunCon! There might be better but thats what we use! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I meant like for games that aren't compatible with Guncons
I have 20 game consoles and the lights guns I love them and most of the lights gun games I love the 3do console and the fmv games I have all of them and five 3do light gunsi I all of my consoles and light gun games thanks for the awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Lightguns are so much fun! Cheers!
I have a real hot take. I love gunfighter more than the original time crisis. It's not as frustrating as time crisis
that is a hot take. gunfighter is awesome but we would go with time crisis
The original Time Crisis was actually rereleased on PS2! But in Japan only ☹️. Pretty sure it’s in a compilation with some of the Point Blank games.
yeah we had heard that. wish they would of done it in america also
Nyko also has there guncon version that works with all games as well. I have both!!
Very good option also! Cheers!
I'll I need are the Time Crisis and Point Blank games. I never get bored playing them. Love the cover system of the Time Crisis games. With enough practice you can easily 1CC all of them. Not a fan of games like House of the Dead with all the cheap unescapable deaths.
they are great games but we really love house of the dead the main reason for the start of channel
Does retroarch on a modded wii u allow for light gun games for stuff on PS1? For that matter, Snes and Genesis?
what guncon do you use to play hotd 2 dreamcast? i have the pelican stinger and the trigger gets stuck sometimes- super annoying
We have the Madcats gun on Dreamcast that has the Dreamcast logo on it. We have the Pelican one as well and it ok but not as good as the Madcats gun. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!
@@GamingOffTheGrid i've heard that the madcats are terrible to use for hotd but if yall say so i might order one..
luv the channel- cheers
So I just picked up a PS1 light gun for super cheap to get started on PS1 light gun games. Its a Nuby brand called The Heater, it is shaped like the Guncon 1 but dosn't have the AV plug on it just the PS1 plug. It also has a tun of other buttons on it. Would you say that it probably only works with Justifier games? I just saw a box version of the gun and on the box it says it is not compatible with Guncon games except if you get the light gun foot pedal to convert it. Very intersting.
Will ps1 vampire night/guncon1 work on both fat and slim ps2....?
I have the Justifier and it won't plug in all the way to my PS2 fat. Is the Justifier not compatible for PS2 to play Area 51?
Believe it only works on the slim! Sorry bout that! Cheers!
Please cover the system link ps2 time crisis shit I'm literally building a custom cabinet with two CRTs for system link light gun regular light gun game and linked racers keep kicking ass guys Lovin the light guns
could be a possible episode in the future cheers
Who could do it better guy??? I know you got everything to pull it off lol....don't make me a boner dog lol
Point Blank 2 is the greatest competitive lightgun game ever made
it is definitely in the conversation. its definitely a good co op light gun game
How much did yall pay for elemental gearbolt back when yall bought it?
Quite a bit bro, $175
@@GamingOffTheGrid ouch. Queue the Sanford and son meme with Fred Sanford grabbing his chest due to a heart attack
Ive heard rumblings about light guns not working on flat glass crt tvs. Do you know anything for sure?
They work on our Flat trinitrons. Just not the ones with hdmi
There are some flat screen CRT's that have troubles, but it's hit or miss. It's usually because of geometry issues and the guns get less accurate as you start shooting closer to the edges of the screen. My Sony WEGA will work, if the game has the option to calibrate.
