do you remember this game? was it laser disk?

[danny_galaga]

sorry, no pictures. just a description. about 20 years ago i went to some little fairground in holland and there was this gunfighter game. had a big screen and featured real film. when you drew your gun it would jump to a sequence suitable to the outcome. so if i drew first and shot the bad guy, the film would jump to him keeling over dead. looked pretty disjointed i recall and even THEN it seemed like it was very old but at that time i knew nothing of laser disk technology and assumed it was some kinda film/video setup. anyone have any ideas?

Could it have been one of the Mad Dog McCree games?  I know it had Gunfighter scenes on it.

Quite probably it was either Mad Dog McRee or Fast-Draw Showdown.
Both of them are from American Laser Games.

Mad Dog 1&2, Last Bounty Hunter, Space Pirates, Who Shot Johnny Rock, Crime Patrol and Drug Wars (Crime Patrol 2) are available from Digital Leisure on CD-Rom.

They work great with the Act-Labs guns.
Make sure if you order them off ebay that you get the ones that say "WindowsXP Compatible", and "Compatible with Act-Labs USB Light Gun" on them though.
There are older DOS versions of them that have really low-res graphics on them.
The XP compatible ones have all been remastered in MPEG 1, for full-screen display.

I bet that's the one.  I remember this one.  Great game. Not real challanging but lots of fun.

Actually that would be an EM game, so it can't really be emulated, it could be simulated if someone had a video dump. I have seen a similar era Namco title (same size, same general deal as the clay target scene in dunk hunt), up close and personal, and seen inside it, it is actually REALLY simple. The Namco one was functionally identical to the "Shooting Trainer" game, and there was hardly anything to it at all.

Hey was going to ask about that. I remeber another game that was a clay shotting game. All I remember was that a light would shine and go over the screen and you would have to shoot it. The light king of looked like a UFO so I always thought it was UFO shooting game (hey I was a kid)

Is a game like that the one you are refering to?
Any idea what the name of the game is?

[paigeoliver]

I don't remember the name of it, but Namco made it, mid 70s. I have only ever seen one of them.

so it really WAS old, even then. cool to know what it was after all this time. only just thought of it the other day. memory still working i guess...
