Title: Act Labs TV gun
Post by: greaser on September 12, 2006, 04:14:48 pm
I'm wondering about games like Terminator 2 or Operation Wolf on MAME. In these types of games your character used a machine gun where you would just hold down the trigger and it fires automatically just like a real machine gun. Does this gun work like that or do you have to keep pulling the trigger for each shot?

It doesn't work like that.  T2 didn't really use lightguns though, but analog joysticks with a limited range of motion, so they appeared to work just like lightguns.  You will have to keep pressing the button to fire (which defeats the point of that game to me).  I hear those games work well with the LCD TopGuns, but then you have to stand quite far back from the screen to get them to register.

The TopGunLCD works well with Terminator 2 (assuming you calibrate in game properly), the best part....the gun also actively "Tracks" like an analog due to it's unique nature of detection (the crosshairs will follow your on-screen aim). The Terminator 2 game itself is already set to Full Auto on one trigger pull.

But for the record, the TGLCD also has a full auto mode, look for it on the left side just above the grip just in front of the laser sight switch.
