I am looking for some good PC light gun games to use with my ActLabs USb TV light gun. Please only list games which you have played and would recommend since you got a lot of enjoyment out of playing them.
Thanks!

I absolutely love House of the Dead 2 - though I was only able so far to play it with my mouse. Still waiting for someone who could grant me it works with two lightguns/two players before I consider getting two of them.

Digital Leisure offers CD-ROM versions of classic American Laser Games Shooters. They work with the Act Labs gun.

I've played House of the Dead 2 with my one gun.
It doesn't support two guns directly; but I think you can network it to support one gun/computer in network play.
I've also played Drug Wars, and Last Bounty Hunter.
Both of those play excellently with the gun, so I am assuming that the rest of the series will play equally well.
Make sure you get the "new" MPEG Windows versions.
The older DOS versions don't play full screen very well, and the video is terrible.

ahhh drug wars...
as already mentioned HotD2... I've got one other SEGA light gun game hiding somewhere but I cant' find it...(or remember it's name)
oh... it's Virtua Cop 2
*shrug*

Virtua Cop does not work with the newer (USB) guns.

well, this dosnt count... but do try 'shooting gallery' for the sega master system emulator. i think i had to use freeze sms to get it going with the actlabs gun - but meka might work with it by now.
the game consist of many rounds where you have get a certain number of targets to qualify to the next round. Each level has simular elements - but in different order... count, direction, speeds..ect. It gets sickly insane. In the later stages.. youll also see some different target types... though ive never gotten too far into the game because of its difficulty.
Its a real challengs, and a real blast of fun : )
As for pc games... you might want to look at some of the flash type games that are all over the net. Ive not seen many commercial games that use guns.

Does anyone have these? Are they cab-friendly, or do you need a mouse and keyboard to start them up/shut them down?

You can get a list of the various Light Gun games available from the Act Labs website.

quote from act labs site "* This is a fix that allows the Act Labs USB light guns to work with older games that were previously incompatible with the guns because of the way the games handle mouse input. This Fix also add's support for the 2 Player function on the Act Labs TV USB Light Guns."
HotD 1 and 2 were listed as having this feature now, so according to them you can play 2 player HotD. Also virtua cop 2 and couple other games

SWEET to know that they added HoTD, HoTD2 and VS2 support! How faithful are they to the originals?
Of course... I have VS1... sigh...
How is Drug Wars, The last bounty hunter and Crime Patrol? Never heard of them.

i read my quote from their site again and noticed they said the 2 player support was added for the TV lightguns, not PC.... just FYI
