If you could get it to work at such a steep angle then that would be fine.

I think, assuming I can parse a high res image fast enough, it should be fine. So long as it's only skewed in one direction, software compensation is pretty straight forward.

Its not just the skew though, Its the depth perception to.
It will be very shallow at a steep angle.

Depth perception? Did you mean depth of field? I think the mars lightgun doesn`t even need a very sharp image, as you only want to find the midpoint of the reflection off the screen. Much like you can be very precise with your thumb on a smartphone screen, even if its 10x bigger then the button you are clicking.

No, The depth perception.
If the camera is mounted above the screen it will make the height of the screen look much smaller than it actually is so I wonder how well it would be able to determine where the laser is on the screen.
