Arcade games light gun




















At the end of each level, depending on your performance, you would gain rank based on real military rank depending on your performance kills, accuracy, etc.

This is another game that was very hard to find stateside. It may seem like the driver gets the raw end of the deal but they play a very important role. House of the Dead is a landmark franchise for light gun games. The first one started it all and the fourth one was probably the strongest console showing, but it is the second game which ascended into the arcade hall of fame.

The zombies take multiple hits as well unless you scored a headshot duh meaning that many sequences in the game required accuracy to get through unscathed.

Sure some of the zombies had battle axes what the hell? The bosses were gigantic, gory, and had great variety. At any time you could be fighting an ax wielding behemoth, a hydra, an aquatic predator, or something else from your nightmares.

I know this is probably a bold statement to make, but The Lost World: Jurassic Park is absolutely the best usage of the Jurassic Park trademark outside of the films ever. The creature designs and movements emulate the film to a fantastic level and the fact that it actually has a plot help Ian and Sarah get that T-rex baby off the island!

It balanced this however by giving ample time between when the dinosaurs appear and when they actually attack. This meant that gameplay while frantic emphasized precision shooting over trigger happy spraying every time. Any of the top three games could be justified in the 1 slot. House of the Dead 2 is arguably the most iconic and The Lost World: Jurassic Park combined unique gameplay with responsible license usage. But in the end. I think that the first Time crisis was the first light gun game that I ever played in an arcade and I distinctly remember buying a psx along with The House of the Dead 4 was a new one to me.

It only ever came out in the arcades and not to any other consoles. Correction: House of the Dead 4 was also released on ps3. House of the Dead 3 The house of the Dead 3 is a zombie shooting game and one of the most popular and also most compatible light gun game out there. This makes it one In my opinion Point Blank 1 is not only the best point blank game, but hands down the greatest light gun ever created!

Ok, its not as gritty as the house of the dead series or as 'realistic' as Time Crisis or Virtua Cop but what it is is The latter can be toggled with the cabinet's pedal in lieu of running between stationary cover found in previous Time Crisis titles.

Incredible light gun game with a mounted machine gun as your controller. Play as side gunners on a helicopter as you tear shit up in New York.

Available on the Wii with L. Sequel to Gunblade NY. Rip through L. Fight in 4 epic levels with huge boss battles and then fight the secret boss in the secret level Oh my! However, you can't take forever as the clock is ticking even when you lose all your lives as you insert your quarters into the machine. Available on the Wii with Gunblade NY. Probably most notable for its controversial content, you play as a police officer in the middle of a drug war.

Drop criminals and save bystanders like it's going out of style. Weapon upgrades can be found throughout levels but regress to a peashooter if you lose a life. Similar to Area 51 in that the game uses digitized enemies, opposed to polygons. Defend your Jeep from swarms of dinosaurs and one pissed off female Tyrannosaurus Rex. Be sure to play in the enclosed sit-down cabinet, it's a WHOLE different experience when the cabinet actually moves as shit jumps on you.

Probably one of the most common shooters you'll find in arcades today. Makes better of everything the first one did. Now with a fuckton of all new stages. Is seen a LOT less then it's prequel sadly. Similar to Point Blank , the game consists of an array of shooting gallery challenges across multiple skill levels. Climb in rank by clearing several stages on each difficulty, with tests for reaction time, precision and technique.

The arcade cabinet features an enormous screen to go along with the giant guns, giving everything an appropriately grand feel. The "Virtua Cop" series started in and was one of the first light gun games to feature 3D polygon graphics rather than 2D graphics. While the graphics in the first game have not held up well, at the time they were considered quite advanced.

The gameplay in all the "Virtua Cop" series is what puts it on this list, being particularly singular to the genre. The action, meanwhile, is basic but refined. The "Virtua Cop" series delivered that polished experience in three separate games, all of which hang in the hallowed halls of arcade game history.

The "Time Crises" games might be the most stress-inducing light gun games on this list. On the screen for every game is a fairly large countdown timer ticking away while the players try to pick off enemies one by one.

Over the course of five games so far , the series continues to deliver rock solid light gun gameplay. Whenever anyone thinks of "Time Crisis," they think of one thing. In fact, mechanic to get in cover and reload is one of the most innovative and unique mechanics in any arcade game, light gun or otherwise. The back and forth between shooting and stepping on the pedal can make playing "Time Crisis" almost feel like a rhythm game, and is an impressive and lasting innovation that makes "Time Crisis" a top tier light gun game.

All four of "The House of the Dead" games feature grotesque monsters, dilapidated environments and eerie music. The frequent boss battles the player encounters showcase truly disturbing character designs. When you play these games, you feel grimy afterwards, which, in a way, is what makes them so satisfying to play. Also, it must be said, that these games feature hilariously bad voice acting The light guns for this series started off fairly basic.

The first two games featured a red and blue gun for player one and two, respectively. For the third game players got to wield a light gun shaped like a shotgun. This shotgun did not have any pump action mechanic. The fourth "House of the Dead" game gave players mini Uzis to use in their hunt of the undead. One of the greatest action movies of all time gets one of the all time greatest light gun shooters. Players take on the roles of Ts reprogrammed to battle against Skynet.

The plot of the game is a rough approximation of the plot of the film. Players start in a future warzone before traveling back in time to iconic locations like Cyberdine Systems and the steel mill. The game features digitized graphics of key characters from the movie like Sarah Connor and the evil T Players get to use light guns mounted on the cabinet that rattle and shake with the feedback of the rapid fire machine gun.
