Damn, son, looks like you did it.  Sell out to Randy.

  If you can beat level 6 on "Shooting Gallery"  for the Sega Master System,  without a Cursor on... and at standard
arcade distance from the screen...  they Id say you probably have a sure-fire winner.


  This particular shooting game,  requires FAR more precision than a Cookie Cutter, pay to continue, quarter-muncher... like HOTD.


 In fact... out of all the Lightgun games Ive played... from Arcade to Console,   this is pretty much my go-to.

 You could say that its similar to Namco's Point Blank series...  But PB came out much later,  and was probably modeled after
SG.   The thing is... while SG has its limits... its still a more fun and challenging game,  than any/all  of the PB games.

 It has a better difficulty ramp,  and better game balance overall.   Many of PB levels are too quick... and the difficulty is all over
the map.   Also.. PB's  system has too much Down-Time pausing,  between rounds.   Where as with SG... you have enough time
to see your stats... and if you passed / failed... and then its go-time.

 I believe I heard there is 24 levels to SG... but I never was able to defeat it.  I cant recall,  but I know I got past the
TVs,  and I believe it was the 2nd or 3rd iteration of the Spaceships... which,  if you missing their shield drop,  it was
pretty much over with.

 The game has some patterns... but similar to Capcom's Ghouls and Ghosts... there are often a few different variances to these
patterns,  per each level.    There are also things like Balloons... that if you miss dead-center.. the balloon will sway away from
your shot... as if the wind force pushed it.  That makes it even worse than missing a typical target... because you then have to
calculate for the error,  and try to re-catch it,  before it trails off the screen.

 Even if you post a decent attempt on this game,  I think it will still be a more impressive display of the true abilities of
the aiming and accuracy.

Yeah, I agree.  That game always stood out in my mind as very good light gun game.  Give that one a shot in your next video.
Titchgamer:
Yeah shooting gallery is a quality game :)

Still love point blank more though!

That single shot feather was always a good test of accuracy lol

not to hijack this thread but what emu are you using for master system lightgun games?  i can’t for the life of me get a lightgun to work in mega fusion.

back to thread, i think the kickstarter goal is way to high.  i hope it gets funded but all or nothing for 250k seems unattainable.  but i will back...
