Point blank is far more polished and varied, which can be expected considering it had better hardware to build upon. Police trainer gets boring a LOT quicker. |

It’s been a good 20 years since I’ve played Point Blank, I’ll have to revisit it. I swear I still see Police trainer out on location every now and then. Got this $8 adapter for SEGA master system cartridges. Works great but no card support. Really pointless as my $20 everdrive clone can already play SMS roms fine but what the hell. |

I don't have a master system, but I have two light phasers, a Mega SD and a Mega Everdrive X5 running through a pair of model 1 Genesis consoles. One of the consoles is running through hd retrovision component cables into a 32 inch Sony Trinitron and the other console is running through composite into a 27 inch Toshiba CRT. Weirdly, the guns are iron sight accurate through the composite line into the Toshiba and consistently shooting just to the right of the iron sights through the component lines into the Trinitron. This is consistent across all games and both guns. I haven't done extensive testing to try different cables and switching consoles around, but it's very strange behavior. Anyway, on the Toshiba, the guns are pixel perfect accurate with no calibration, but unfortunately the phaser light gun games tend to bore me with their repetition and lack of personality. |

I couldn’t stand it, so I bought a cheap Master System. There’s two options for making Master System games… stick with 32kb games that don’t need a mapper, or trash a handful of games that used an external mapper and a standard rom chip. And unfortunately they’re not “get a box of 50 copies of Joe Montana for $20” pricing either. I also, of course, bought a 3D adapter. And sealed LCD shutter frame glasses that are compatible. And a sealed copy of Missile Defense 3D that I’m agonizing over opening. We’re on a mission to correct an injustice from the 80s. |

Been playing some more Master System light gun games. I, too, am having the same issue with the shot landing right of where I aimed. Adjusting brightness seems to help. I got a CIB copy of Gangster Town for about $8 shipped. That is one heck of a gun game. Reminds me of Dead Angle. Would have played the hell out of it back in the day. I also bought a second copy of Missile Defense 3D because I couldn't bring myself to open the sealed one. "One missile hit east city. That's all it takes." Eeesh, a little fatalistic. I may be crazy, but I swear there's some randomization in the order of the levels and where the targets are placed. The 3D isn't quite as awesome as Sega used to advertise it was, but it is a neat effect. :cheers: |
