I suppose if I were to build my own cabinet I could make-do with the led strips, but you definitely wont catch me velcroing/taping/glueing them to my brand new LCD TV. --- Quote from: patrickl on June 07, 2007, 04:54:42 am ---I guess the tracking could be better, but I don't see myself paying $500 for a gun that would track slightly more accurate. It's just for fun anyway. --- End quote --- But would you pay $100 for a gun that performed significantly better without the LED's" (if you were to build a new cabinet or other setup) - that's the price they would be targeting for. you could still step back, the gun itself would operate in a range of 1-5ft, the average persons arms are about 2-2.5 feet, so after you hold the gun up to aim, your feet would be about 7 feet away from the screen. I've played many shooters in the arcade I don't ever remember standing over 7 feet away. (take 7 small steps back from ur monitor to guage the distance). Oh yeah, BTW, lik-sang is now out of business because sony sued the pants off them. www.lik-sang.com so after the guns are out of stock, were screwed. I'm just trying to spark interest among developers, I want to see more products and competitive marketing towards the MAME/home arcade community. does anybody here not agree with that? |

I would be very interested, assuming it will work accurately from the range you describe. I think it's dumb to have to stand 6 feet away from your cabinet to play light gun games (which is why I passed on the LCD Topguns). The only time you would stand that far away is when playing on a showcase style cabinet with a giant screen like House of the Dead -- not playing Hogan's Alley on a 25" monitor. |

The LCDTopGun is not made by lik-sang, but EMS and Play-Asia still carries them full-stock.. I, for one, am always interested in hearing about new products to test and compare in the market, thus keeping it fresh and current... If I liked the gun and it got good reviews I might consider purchasing it for 50 or so.... 65-70 max (unless it made coffee).. I think you should have been WAY more up front with your purpose and reasons for being here (and should have included all your previous correspondence) with your first post, given the nature of it. It's one thing to come up as a new user asking for advice as oneself for your personal project, but you came to a homely community as though you were a "representative of a highly interested company looking to make a good investment"... you should understand the kind of reaction that would get, especially if you plan on staying a member here. Welcome. |

organic jerk: I understand, but I didn't have an entire day to spend on a post to explain who I am, why I'm here, why I'm asking, and what I'm asking. It would be nice if people weren't so judgmental and quick to jump to conclusions. - let the moderators moderate this forum, if i'm breaking rules i'll be more than happy to get banned. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_AO0F5sLdVM |

Well you ended up spending the time to reiterate anyway, no? It's not so much that people are judgemental, but rather weary and leery of fraudulent users (ie: salespeople popping in to advertise under the guise of "hey guys I'm just a regular guy! look at my cool new stuff!") popping up with "opportunities" and such... |
