Guns for a LCD Screen Wii or TopGun?
« on: February 05, 2007, 10:44:34 am »
I have a new set up with a 19" LCD screen and I want to add a gun. I originally wanted the LCD TopGun, where can I get one, seems like the prices crept upto $55 plus shipping around $15, I remember seeing them somewhere for $35 and shipped from the US or Canada. Any help would be appreciated.
I started to see some wii controllers set up as guns, and was wondering what people have tried out with your computer and mame setup, is it very responsive? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks

Thats just a prototype mock up, we do not know if the final production model is going to look like that yet or if its completely confirmed they are going to produce them.
Rumour is they are, but we shall see

Good luck with making your own one, I have seen one based on a robocop style gun which looked pretty cool.  Please post back if you do make one though as it would be nice to see :)

Cheapest source is direct from the manufactuer:

That's where mine came from.
