Warborg:
Well, I have been asking Act-Labs about a PC lightgun that works with TV-out, and here is the response I have received. If you guys are interested in this product, write in to them at orders@act-labs.com! Have your friends/family/pets write in as well! :)

"Warren,

We do have it developed but at this time we do not think the demand is
there.

***When replying please include all previous email correspondence.***

Regards,
Orders at ACT LABS

That's a shame, as you are alienating a large portion of the audience that
is actually clamoring
for a lightgun, but aren't interested in a VGA-only version. As far as that
goes, your FAQ online
states that a TV version is being considered. Has this stance changed?

StephenH:
Let everyone who wants a TV lightgun, e-mail act labs, and demand that they will buy it, and lets all cause enough demand for them to produce it.

Smack:
I just sent out my email expressing interest in one! :D

wee beastie:

ITrek:
Ditto. Just sent a nice email Act Labs also encourging them to build and sell these lightguns.
