It might be under LCD? I am not sure.
My sister and also my younger brother both have new flat panel TVs
$1,000 + type TVs
these have a PC connection on them (VGA)
LARGE TVs (HD)
so vertical and horizontal games would be fine on same TVs
They won't let me hook up a PC to check them out :dunno
That's what I would like.
all my Mame gun games.
all my console EMU gun games.
SNAP :o
I said I would never spend that kind of $$$$ on any stupid TV.
This could change my mind

That's what I do, and both vertical and horizontal look fine to me. Just be aware that these sets don't support all the resolutions that a PC monitor does. Also they seem to vary from set to set (I have three and they are all different) http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/08/how-to-connect-your-pc-to-your-hdtv/ So if you are looking at a particular model I would recommend downloading the manual for it as that's about the only way you can tell what resolutions they can handle before you buy them. I haven't tried the LCD topgun because from what I understand I would have to stand like 20 ft away to use it on a 52 inch. It would be cool if there was a gun that you could use a little closer up with on these larger monitors.

Thats another issue. I think in most jurisdictions the gun would need to be a "non-gun" color otherwise it would be illegal to sell it as it would be a replica gun. Thats why the gaming guns are these colors.

make the sights like a neon green or orange. It will qualify in this respect. In most toy stores at present the guns themselves are simply tipped in orange or green, which if done right would add some style to it imho. Or simply make a snap on cap and hand grip sides in your choice of colors or decals. Green/Orange/Red/Blue

Where do you live? In NYC you would be HARD PRESSED to browse a toy store and find a gun in black at all (except if you went to a cheapo imports store, possibly)... most guns are very bright colors and have outlandish shapes. The newest Nerf series (N-Strike) I'd say is probably the closest you'll come to looking almost like a real gun, currently (and that is a huge stretch)...
Personally, I figure having the guns go for the "Arcade" look is what we would be going for, not the "Real" look.... My vote is for red and blue.
As far as shape, I liked the crazy namco or sega shapes myself ( but I would be totally cool with a standard arcade gun housing or other style of standard gun)... I figure shape will end up being a huge discussion if it comes to it. I don't know what copyrights are held by whom as far as that's concerned... if we had to go with a totally new arcade design, I wouldn't mind taking some influence from nerf guns...
