Poll for the most popular shooting game out there with a physical gun
-
Other: Point Blank Series.
-
Added to the list
-
you say shooter, I think Mars Matrix, best gun game....... I'll vote Time Crisis, sinc eI think you mean the whole series
-
I haven't played many of these...sadly. But just the idea of Carnevil is awesome so I vote for it.
-
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.
-
Other: House Of The Dead
-
yep,other hotd
-
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.
-
Other: Extreme Hunting 2
-
Other: House Of The Dead
Ding. Maybe the best console game of the 32 bit era, too.
-
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.
-
Crossbow
+1. YOU WILL DIEEEEEEEE!!!!
-
No love for Sharpshooter? That or Zero Point are the first things that get played when someone's in a shootin' mood.
-
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...
-
I would have picked sharpshooter over police trainer if there were ammo limits.
-
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.
-
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.
-
you say shooter, I think Mars Matrix, best gun game....... I'll vote Time Crisis, sinc eI think you mean the whole series
I tried Mars Matrix, It doesn't use a gun. Just a joystick shooter from what I saw.
-
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
-

Cool, but tough to emulate.
-
I am dying to see what will be #1 in the next few months ! We'll have to wait and see
-
Other: House of the Dead (series)

At this point, its a tie between Area 51 and a game thats not in your poll. :P
-
Personally I favor the Point Blank games purely for variety. Area 51 rocked though.
Recently I also played Sammy's Sports Shooting USA (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=13128) for the first time. the clear, funky-looking guns are kind of annoying, but the game is fun. Quite similar to Police Trainer.
-
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.
-
Another for the House of the Dead Series
-
I like that Voyager game. I just played it recently.
-
The poll omits Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Empire City.

and gum shoe lol

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.
-

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! ;D
-
I beat HOTD2 at a house party not long ago. My arms were exhausted by the end.
-
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
-
Dual gun HOTD is as good as arcade gaming can reasonably get.
-
I haven't ever been a fan of HOTD. I do like The Typing of the Dead though. ;D
-
What's not to like?
Shooting - good.
Zombies - good.
...erm... more zombies - more gooder.
-
I also played LA machine gun and that game make you fell like you are flying and shooting people with an uzi- really fast paced game, its was fun. When it was over I felt a bit woozy with all the movement, real cool !!
-
Dont forget to vote !
-
lethal enforcers or mad dog mcgee. im a sucker for FMV
-
wtf - where's crackshot?
-
If you Love gun games, You MUST try:
Shooting Gallery
for the Sega Master System. Similar to Point Blank, but different.
Very polished, great flow, creativity, sound fx, and very Difficult.
(Ive never been able to defeat it yet)
SMS also has a few other gun games which are fun.
One being Missile Defense 3D. Using the 3d lcd glasses, its quite cool. :)
-
I haven't ever been a fan of HOTD. I do like The Typing of the Dead though. ;D
You must work in an office then. It would be a good game to put on your office pc though. The boss walks by and thinks you are just working hard.
