Title: House of Dead 3 for PC
Post by: MBliker on April 24, 2008, 11:24:39 am

Does anyone know if House of the Dead 3 will play on a PC with a Vista operating system?

Also can anyone recommend any other light gun games for the PC that can run on Vista. Not Mame games and other emulated games but actual PC games.

Are there even any light guns which work under Vista?

Acually using the wiimote as a lightgun is the best method i've found works for everything from CRT to LCD to Projectors and works in mame games too :)

I'm actually tempted to get a Wii.  Granted, I also want to get a PS3 for MLB 2008: The Show, as baseball is my primary addiction.  The thing is, I bought an XBOX when it first came out and have almost never used it.  I got the MegaMan history collection, but I like playing it more in emulators.  Same for the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on X-Box.  Also, Halo isn't that fun to me.

Ah well.  Maybe I'm just getting old and liking the old school games too much.  :p ;D

LCD TopGuns work great on my Laptop running Vista Premium but I use them more on the Xbox.

It takes a while to configure, but if you follow the directions for multiple guns in the HowTos then you should have no problems.  I had accuracy issues with mine, but I had to stand well back from the display to calibrate.
