Well, I found a reasonably price Menacer on eBay so I'll test it and let you know! |

Ok, well I've tried the Menacer on my Pioneer PDP V402 plasma, and it doesn't really work. The cursor does respond when I point the Menacer at the screen - but it jumps around a lot. The cursor moves in a way somewhat related to where the gun is pointing, as in it will move upwards when I move the gun up, but it's jumping wildly around. So I guess it does need a CRT - but it works well on that - no screen flashing and tracks reliably - so well suited for machine gun type games. I've played a bit of T2 with it and that worked well. Body Count seems cool too. And the Toejam & Earl minigame is decent. Partway between a traditional lightgun and a PS Move. Seems more response than the Move. Gonna play some more Body Count now! Think some of the Mega CD FMV games are compatible with it. |

Out of interest did you try playing with the TV’s brightness and contrast to see if that improved things? |

Yeah, brightness and contrast didn't make any difference. |
