Poll for the most popular shooting game out there with a physical gun

Witchboard · « **Reply #1 on:** May 27, 2007, 09:26:11 pm »

Other: Point Blank Series.

you say shooter, I think Mars Matrix, best gun game....... I'll vote Time Crisis, sinc eI think you mean the whole series

bfauska · « **Reply #4 on:** May 27, 2007, 10:01:04 pm »

I haven't played many of these...sadly. But just the idea of Carnevil is awesome so I vote for it.

Naru · « **Reply #5 on:** May 27, 2007, 10:20:07 pm »

My vote went to Virtua Cop.
I still play that on my Sega Saturn.
Got multiple TV's with the signal going
to all of them, so I can shoot the bad guys
from each different monitor.
It's silly, but so am I.

Crossbow

I'd have to go for Area 51. I liked the pacing, and the inclusion of the various 'Hidden' Bonus rounds, not to mention Kronn Hunter Mode. Maximum force seemed to go completely overboard with all of its extras and just doesn't have the flow that Area 51 had.

My honorable mention would be Cheyenne. Those Exidy gun games were a lot of fun back in the day, and while not nearly as fun with a mouse, I still fire it up on a regular basis via MAME.

Ding. Maybe the best console game of the 32 bit era, too.

clanggedin · « **Reply #12 on:** May 29, 2007, 01:17:40 pm »

I would have to say Time Crisis, beacuse of the combination of reload pedals and recoil gun.

Lethal Enforcers II is much better than the 1st.

No love for Sharpshooter? That or Zero Point are the first things that get played when someone's in a shootin' mood.

kjoel0123 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2007, 05:55:50 pm »

Crossbow is cool for an older shooting game

I love sharpshooter, but it is just WAY too easy. I prefer police trainer.

Maybe that's why it's popular in my housepeople who won't play anything else will play Sharpshooter.

Although my wife is occasionally liking House of the Dead 2...

shardian · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2007, 08:21:23 am »

I would have picked sharpshooter over police trainer if there were ammo limits.

Joystick Jerk · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2007, 09:10:47 am »

As low rent and basic as it is, Lethal Enforcers has always had a soft spot in my heart. I like it for it's focus more on accuracy, rather than just flinging an endless stream of bullets at the enemy like a lot of more modern shooters. Beyond that, the Time Crisis series has always been great, and I always had loads of fun with The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

drunkatuw · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2007, 01:36:38 pm »

Egg Venture! I first found the game at a nickel arcade in Rockford, IL. It was so addicting. My wife and I probably up in $5 in nickels. It was because of Egg Venture that my wife bought me the actlab guns for valentine's day.

I tried Mars Matrix, It doesn't use a gun. Just a joystick shooter from what I saw.

Q*Bert_OP · « **Reply #22 on:** May 30, 2007, 02:53:06 pm »

What, you forgot Target Terror??? Then again...if it wasn't a Jarvis game, I probably wouldn't play it...

Mars Matrix is a vertical shooter, poll says best shooter... its just semantics. I voted but forgot about Silent Scope. that was a bad smurfin game

At this point, its a tie between Area 51 and a game thats not in your poll.

Crowquill · « **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2007, 02:54:42 am »

Personally I favor the Point Blank games purely for variety. Area 51 rocked though.

Recently I also played Sammy's Sports Shooting USA for the first time. the clear, funky-looking guns are kind of annoying, but the game is fun. Quite similar to Police Trainer.

northerngames · « **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2007, 04:37:09 pm »

I liked the laser disk one's.

maddog mccree
crime patrol 1&2
cops

our local arcade had them in dynamo showcase models so that may have played a big role in it also.

ChicagoDave · « **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2007, 09:36:58 pm »

Other:

With two or three exceptions, your choices are probably some of the worst examples of shooting games. Like others have mentioned, you omitted games such as house of the dead and classics like duck hunt. Also none of the American Laser Games made the list.

kjoel0123 · « **Reply #35 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:21:46 pm »

I changed my answer to Revolution X. That machine was really cool back in the day. Of course, I could never afford to get past the part where you get handed the keys to the car...quarter crunchers - gotta love 'em!

I beat HOTD2 at a house party not long ago. My arms were exhausted by the end.

kjoel0123 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 19, 2007, 05:28:14 pm »

I just played house of the dead 1 and 2 at the local arcade , Damn my forearm was aching like hell ! But they are kick @ss games

ChadTower · « **Reply #39 on:** June 20, 2007, 10:54:31 am »

Dual gun HOTD is as good as arcade gaming can reasonably get.
