Light Gun Game users...Monitor Questions

[dheck]

Does tilting the monitor slightly backwards like most arcade games effect the light gun games?  Or should I make sure the monitor is parallel to the floor?  Also does having glass/lexain infront of the monitor effect the light gun?

How much do you usually tilt the monitor?  Or is it just user preference?

Anyone?

Those of you without tilted monitors can test this by tilting the gun

No, it will not decrease the accuracy of the gun. It will make it slightly harder to aim, and I've never seen a gun game that uses a tilted monitor - but if you don't have a huge tilt, or if you are firing at an angle as well, I can't image it would have a huge effect.

Glass and lex, assuming they are not tinted or smoked, will only have a minimal effect. Choose carefully though, you want something that doesn't stop or bend light.
