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.

so are they for playing through daphne?  or do you have to play them with their own program?

The ones I listed above are stand-alones.
