PacManFan:
Hey everyone,
PacManFan here.
I was shopping at a place called "Ollies" yesterday. Ollies sells overstocks and buy-out of other companies. I can across something in the toy section that turned my head.

This is called the Tonka Power Tools CD-ROM Playset.
Basically, it is a light gun that plugs into the gameport and VGA connectors on a pc.
When I got home, I was disappointed to find out why I had gotten such a great deal on it (2$). The CD rom was missing. I tried for about an hour to get Win98SE to recognize it as a joystick, but with no luck.
I think this toy has great hacking potential to become a MAME lightgun.
If someone else can find it in the stores and post a driver for it, That would be great.
I'll keep you all posted on my progress with it.
PacManFan.

I saw one of these at Kmart

Mike:
I don't know if it will work but try adding it as a mouse. Since that is essentially what it is.

yeah but it connects to the *gameport* which probably necessitates some sort of special driver/tsr type applet...

*shrug*
