Same Q 3rdEye. I had no idea Time Crisis Series was Emulated.

point blank is great but i don't think it's properly emulated yet. the version ive seen has no sound...

Ive always liked police trainer..... I dont wanna get off subject though.... does anyone know if you can get time crisis for pc at all?

clanggedin · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2004, 11:48:26 am »

Sharpshooter is a great game too. I don't think you can get time crisis for a PC. I do have it for mame, but it runs really slow and freezes when I add a coin.

"Point Blank" is the best one ever.

And for nostalgia, you can try out Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley.

Bonanza shooting gallery!!!

I Think the best shoot em ups werethe old mechanical and projector ones.
i remeber the huge mechanical shooters they use to have at the parks.
you would for example shoot a little red dot on a guys ear, and he would start playing piano or something.those things had like a 40 x 20 room.
AWESOME

javeryh · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2004, 01:12:34 pm »

hmmm, I thought shoot em ups were games like Gradius, Ikaruga and Einhander.... either way, if you are getting a light gun, House of the Dead 2 is unbelievably fun with a friend...

DYNAGOD · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2004, 02:01:13 pm »

i think thats been squashed down to shmups.

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2004, 02:11:19 pm »

I love the "fixed gun" games llike Steel Gunner, Operation Wolf, T2 and Revolution X.

Say, do those work well with the PC light guns? I was always under the impression that those games just had a real fancy, gun shaped joystick!

Lilwolf · « **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2004, 02:29:31 pm »

Yup... You have to seperate the light guns and the positional guns (t2)

You really can't play T2 ect. with a light gun.

And you can't play crossbow with a t2 gun.

So pick the controls you have access to and plan on using... And refine your list.

Silverwind · « **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2004, 10:57:03 pm »

Here is a good one..

Not for mame though.. it is for sega master system!
It is called Gangster town
some screens: http://www.geocities.com/sabulente/gangster.html

It was the first (console) game I know of that let you use 2 light guns at the same time.

As far as Mame goes.. Terminator2 has been one of my favorites..

Op. Wolf & Duck Hunt are my faves. Zero Point is quite good (Point Blank rip-off).
