List of light-gun games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of light gun games)

This is a list of light-gun games, video games that use a non-fixed gun controller, organized by the arcade, video game console or home computer system that they were made available for. Ports of light-gun games which do not support a light gun (e.g. the Sega Saturn version of Corpse Killer) are not included in this list. Arcade games are organized alphabetically, while home video games are organized alphabetically by the system's company and then subdivided by the respective company's systems in a chronological fashion.

Wii[edit]

The Wii is unique in that its standard controller can be used as a gun controller. Though a number of Wii games do not support these capabilities, those which do form an exhaustively long list of games, many of which have no resemblance to traditional light-gun games. Thus, this section will only include games that either explicitly support the Wii Zapper or are rail shooters in nature. Virtual Console ports, such as Operation Wolf,[18] did not include any amount of light gun support.

It should also be noted that both versions of the light guns that were meant for the 128K+ or up, worked with almost all the games available.

Sony[edit]

PlayStation[edit]

The PlayStation has two major light guns: the GunCon/G-Con by Namco and the Konami Justifier (known as the Hyperblaster in Japan and Europe). Other licensed and non-licensed light guns are compatible with either Justifier games, GunCon games, or both.

PlayStation 2[edit]

PlayStation 3[edit]

The PlayStation 3 has two dedicated gun peripherals: the GunCon 3 by Namco and the Top Shot Elite by RedOctane. The PlayStation Move can also function as a gun controller. To qualify, games using the Move have to either support the "Move Sharp Shooter" peripheral or be rail shooter in nature.

Tiger Laser Games[edit]
