That happened to me once, on a date, when I was 14. Right outta the box BAM.

Post by: GameOver on September 22, 2005, 09:03:05 pm: Light gun report!

I had no trouble hooking up my Act Labs light gun to my cab. Just followed the directions and BLAMMO! Sure as shootin' it worked. I haven't had a light gun for a looong time, so I don't have anything to compare it to but the arcade. I think it's great! I've only played a few games - Police Trainer, Operation Wolf, some Japanese target game and BANG!, the all worked great. Pretty much plug 'n play as far as I'm concerned.

I've updated the 'video of the week' on my cabinet webpage that shows the light gun in action. High speed users, it takes abut 30 seconds to load then mouse over. Dial-up...may take a minute or longer to load.

GAME ON!
