Light gun games (or gun games) have been around for a good while now, and as with every tenured video game genre, it brings with it… baggage. Weird baggage. Iron Maiden Ed Hunter baggage. Here are the 10 Weirdest Light Gun Games.

03.12.2023They should make a bible fps boomer shooter of the book of Revelation, all the crazy end of the world stuff happening while hunting down the 4 horsemen would be neat
We are One
17.07.2023Iron Maiden Ed hunter was not a weird games it was a cool game that need a remake to updated graphics an more levels
Jay Gooese
13.08.2022These are really interesting games I like them
Son of a King
09.08.2022I remember laughing when I got Chex Quest. I mean it was a nice attempt by the company but just so bad. Though it was interesting given it was a full conversion of Final Doom. So if you played Doom, you knew what to do in the game.

09.08.2022Nstrike was a fun game. Weird but fun
Gamescrap
09.08.2022The term "Light Gun" is used loosely here :P. I kid of course. Thanks for using my Mystic Midway footage! Much love <3

09.08.2022As a christian I never understood why some christians think they can make a christian game and expect it to sell well. There are only two types of christians. Those who parents won't let you play games period, thus making a christian game still not allowed. Or those that let you play games and thus you wouldn't want to choose the christian game anyways. Don't get me wrong, I give them credit of course for trying but christian gaming isn't exactly a big market. Most christians I know play things like Skyrim, Rocket League…etc.

infinityinc1
07.08.2022Feels like someone forgot what the topic of the video was half way through writing the script and turned it into 'weird games with guns in them'.
Patrick Byrne
07.08.2022How many of these were actually light gun games again? Fun video but maybe better to stick on topic in future. There’s plenty other light gun games that were odd/sketchy you could’ve used…
Image Club
07.08.2022I played tons of let’s go jungle!

07.08.2022Chex Quest isnt really a light gun game

06.08.2022A bit of trivia for you boys: the Bible doesn't say take 2 of every animal. It says take 7 pairs of every clean animal and 1 pair of every unclean animal.
Still doesn't explain that game though
Kyle Olson
06.08.2022Gumshoe for the NES should be on here, if not #1. This is a light gun game that we would also probably classify now as an "infinite runner".
But considering that games light "Super Noah's Ark 3d" and "Chex Quest" are not light gun games at all, or even non-light-gun rail shooters, I can see how this would be missed.
Michael Pitcher
06.08.2022Yeah, light gun shooter is pretty specifically , using a light gun lol
Chris Björn
06.08.2022Chiller….???
Macephtophelesッ
06.08.2022PO'ed is an FPS. Weird? Fork yeah. Not a light gun game though. Likewise Chex Quest and Super 3D Noah's Ark… 🤨
Banquet42
06.08.2022Never played them but most of the SNES light gun shooters looked weird. Might have been because it's light gun was a bazooka though…
Dr170
06.08.2022Disappointing lack of Boktai, the literal light gun game.
Daniel Lion
06.08.2022Dino Stalker

05.08.2022This list is so bad I thought I was on Cracked! Oh well, you can't win 'em all.
KrazyKain
05.08.2022was just listening to the podiots podcast… and you know.. it kinda sucks that you'd openly say "I never read the comments" but then end a video with "tell us in the comments below".. just feels kinda dishonest. Love the podcast and videos none the less, that just irked me.

05.08.202211th fact… now I know what Shreddies are
Rory O'Connor
05.08.2022Is it weird light gun games or bizarre gun games?
Thomas Martin
05.08.2022its scud
Kevin Lambert
05.08.2022Light gun games eh? Saw a couple….
Ronald Coleman
05.08.2022Can we get a updated version of this list for the PS4 Move gun? Idk what to use it with!
Nerdspeed89
05.08.2022Hmm they did not include that weird light gun game Revolution X or that game that has Aerosmith firing guns that shoots out CDs
Matthew Fowler
05.08.2022I encountered Mad Dog McCree in the arcade of a Haven holiday camp at some point in my childhood. Expensive, very difficult, and I recall it being out of order a hell of a lot (I think it was Laserdisc-based).
Quite disappointed at the number of not-lightgun games in this list.
dubblbarrlbuttrscotch
02.08.2022Aerosmith…had a game…where your special weapon…was a CD! And it wasn't even that bad, in the arcade, anyway.
Videogre
02.08.2022Yeah, most of theses games aren't light gun games… more games with guns which are odd.
Light gun games to me would be something you have to have a peripheral gun or equivalent to a gun that allows you to shoot the screen to aim and fire.
Bill Frantz
02.08.2022Gumshoe on NES, or any light gun game from the Nintendo entertainment system. I’d watch that list.
DahakiKhi
02.08.2022Did you know that you can use Brutal Doom in Chex Quest. It's great.
Chris Kubacki
02.08.2022Hidden & Dangerous as the end title card. Now that brings back some memories. Although that's a third person shooter (of sorts) and not a "light gun game" still cool and fun to reminiscence.
avfusion
02.08.2022Ah yes, Chex Quest, my favorite light… gun…

What?

02.08.2022I thought this was Light Gun games….
