Light Guns
releasedtruth:
Some good threads on the subject. People are having good success with them. It's not a silver bullet, but they track like mice and have shorter shoot distances than the Topguns and some other options.

Aimtrak is very good from what many people have posted. I can say that I have been generally very happy with my GunCon2 setup (2 guns on a CRT TV). For what you have (CRT TV), I would say that if you can handle being at least a couple feet back, you should be ok with the Aimtrak's. If you aren't far enough back, the guns won't see the sensor bar and will not work correctly. If that is an issue, you might consider going with ActLab guns or GunCon2's. These will work with CRT only, but when they work, they are very nice!
BadMouth:
I picked up and old set of Act Labs ray guns for $30 each and am happy with them.
Keep in mind that "real" light guns only know where the gun is pointed the instant you pull the trigger.
They don't work well on games that used mounted analogue "joystick" guns because they weren't really light guns.
(i.e. terminator 2, etc)
The aimtrack will work for both because it is constantly tracked and seen as a mouse.
I've never used one, so I can't comment on how well they work.
bkenobi:
I think you can use the guncon2pc driver to make 1 or 2 guns show up as HID mice. WinGun makes 1 or 2 guns show up as a single mouse, so you can't play 2 player games where the gun tracks the instantaneous location. If you get official Namco GunCon2's, you will have to use WinGun.

so wingun does work with the Namco guns? i was under the impression that these guns just wouldn't work on a pc at all.
