16.06.2023A lot of really fun rail shooting games on the ps1
UnBearified Bear
15.06.2023Point Blank 2 is the greatest competitive lightgun game ever made

15.06.2023I think my personal favorites are Time Crisis and Lethal Enforcers. I tried getting into Elemental Gearbolt, but I couldn't, it's just too dark and depressing for a light gun game. Project: Horned Owl was okay, though. And I prefer Area 51 over Maximum Force, at least that one had a final boss battle, while Maximum Force did not.

15.06.2023I always loved light gun games in the arcade and at home. Thanks for all the info and research. It’s very helpful. Would love to see one for the PS2, as well.

15.06.2023I bought by the time the Logic 3 P99K Light Blaster gun with its own foot pedal. Its Guncon and Justifier compatible just by turning a switch
Martin Aurik
15.06.2023I’m missing a “PlayStation One”lightgun game where’s “Ghoul Panic”made by “Namco”and an exclusive!

15.06.2023Was PS1 snatcher compatible with Konami Justifier? Or is that just the Sega versions?
YungJunko
15.06.2023I was pretty sad when I found out my GunCon didnt work with Die Hard. Ended up finding a third party gun that worked, ton of fun. The sequel thankfully does work with the GunCon tho! Very nice comprehensive video, as always guys! You guys always be killing it

15.06.2023I have a real hot take. I love gunfighter more than the original time crisis. It's not as frustrating as time crisis
Retro broski
15.06.2023Love the mighty ps1 ! This is my fav console to this day for reasons like this! Awesome watch guys! Also love the amazing original wii for the same reason. The Wii is a light gun fans dream!!! Wii is also one of my fav consoles. Y’all should do a Wii light gun review . Much love guys
Oliver Clare
15.06.2023Just a quick note – if you’re playing PS1 light gun games using two linked consoles/two CRT TVs, then you’ll need to use original PS1 consoles.
The PS2 can play all the games, but the PS2 iLink cable can’t emulate a PS1 serial cable.

10.06.2023i like the sega stunner (without a squeaky springy trigger). wish they made more controllers like them
BIT-ISH Bulldog
10.06.2023I have a light gun that is never mentioned. It works on all PlayStation 1 and 2 light gun games just changing the switch from 3 options. Regular, guncon 1& 2.

10.06.2023I actually just bought a gun-con two weeks ago, so this video came at the right time!
By the way, I also played Ninja Assault (on PS2) and Moorhen 3 (PS1) with it this week. Works perfect!
Lewis Grant
10.06.2023I just got hit with nostalgia from that ps1 start up.
Alpha Rakama
10.06.2023How much did yall pay for elemental gearbolt back when yall bought it?
mike c
10.06.2023what guncon do you use to play hotd 2 dreamcast? i have the pelican stinger and the trigger gets stuck sometimes- super annoying
Lewis Grant
10.06.2023You can’t go wrong with time crisis
Vintage Bluenote
10.06.2023Die Hard Trilogy a bad game?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gene
10.06.2023Star Wars Rebel Assault II supports the Konami Gun and if you plug the Konami Gun on the Player 2 port while playing Sillent Hill you unlock the Hyper Blaster in game.
smashmaster13
10.06.2023I got a couple cheep ones that work on Saturn and ps1
LetsPlayClassicGames
06.06.2023Man this video couldn't have came at a better time for me, just recently scored a GunCon 1 with Time Crisis 2 and 3, and I already have a nice trinitron that is lightgun compatible. Was really looking to jump in to the PS1 era because I had never heard of several of these, and definitely didn't know the Justifier came to PS1. You guys should definitely make a PS2 light gun guide, I can always trust your guys opinion especially after this recent House of the Dead remake, everyone else I watched really overhyped the Switch port where you guys delivered the truth. Cheers!
Thomas Moriarty
06.06.2023Can you use guncon2 on guncon 1 ps1 games
Thomas Moriarty
06.06.2023Get a ddr mat that can play ps1 and ps2 and use it as a foot pedal
Dakotah Cross-Johnson
06.06.2023Love the content guys. Light gun games are so underrated and with todays tech could be so awesome for modern consoles and I don’t know why they ever stopped. Another PS1 light gun game I love though is resident evil: survivor. Probably top 3 for me on the ps1 although I haven’t played elemental gearbolt.
Nintendong
06.06.2023Awesome video with great editing! Cheers! 🍻
Teneesh
06.06.2023Kinda off topic, but boy howdy crt tvs are a lot to deal with.
Firstly, they are heavy as hell. Heavier than modern tvs bigger than it.
Secondly, the IR sensor isn't as reliable. So using the remote is more of a hassle than it should be.
Thirdly, no one talked about the high pitch noise it makes. If you're ears are as sensitive as mine, get something to block your ears or stay away from these

06.06.2023About Konami/Normal-style light gun controllers;
which ones would you say are the most accurate?
I'm starting to think my 4Gamers Ballistic xk10 (apart from the lights) isn't good…
Esk8 Jaimes
06.06.2023Thank you so much for light gun content!
Esk8 Jaimes
06.06.2023Could you make a video on 2-player PS1 and PS2 light gun games?
Esk8 Jaimes
06.06.2023Absolutely, a light gun buying guide video for PS2 would be awesome!
But Thou Must
04.06.2023Time Crisis started my love for light gun games about a year ago! I've since gotten light guns and a bunch of compatible games for NES, Saturn, PS1, and PS2.
Resident Evil Survivor for PS1 supports the GunCon in the Japanese and European versions, but not in the North American version (there is a patch online that restores it).
Japan got Gunvari Collection + Time Crisis, a PS2 compilation of Point Blank 1-3 and Time Crisis 1 all on one disc! It's about $35-$40 nowadays, quite a bit cheaper than getting all four games individually. A neat perk I found was improved load times for Time Crisis over the original PS1 disc (can't speak for the Point Blank games). I was a little disappointed, though, to find out it only supports the GunCon 2, instead of both the GunCon 1 and 2.

04.06.2023I feel this is a genre of game that many people overlook for the most part. So this was a fantastic watch guys. Hope to try out some of these games at some point. So many great pointers and things to do in the start up to beginning to collect and play some very fun games. I will admit this is not a genre I'm too familiar with outside of the arcades, but having that experience at home is just an incredible thing that is a possibility, closest I think I've come is the gun controller for the Cabela's games on PS3/Xbox 360. Another incredible watch, always such entertaining, and informative content from you guys, keep up all the amazing work. #Roadto21k – I think a continuation of this for the PS2 (and even into the PS3) would be great. Cheers boys.

04.06.2023Does anybody know if the Justifier works on a PS2 with PS1 games?
Matias Lopez
04.06.2023Love this!
Out There Adventure’s

Donald Fontes

Henry
04.06.2023I have the Justifier and it won't plug in all the way to my PS2 fat. Is the Justifier not compatible for PS2 to play Area 51?
Menthe A lo

Jezza R
03.06.2023Great video lads! This is exactly what I was looking after picking up some ps1 light gun games 🙂
Matt
03.06.2023I invested in an XStation ODE for my ps1 and managed to pick up a Guncon for 20 bucks at a local used video game store. The sheer amount of fun for essentially 20 bucks is incredible.
TheIncredibleStories
03.06.2023The Guncon was the best by faaaar. There was a cool yellow one called "The Protector" was a great lightgun but didn't work on a few games sadly.
junijam
03.06.2023The Nyko gun…which is really good works with both.
junijam

junijam
03.06.2023Oh by the way the Nykon guncon version has kickback as well. It's an awesome gun!!
Leslie Flores

Samuel High
03.06.2023Just found this video because I was looking for an old Lightgun game where you were shooting like, horror monsters and gargoyles. Stayed because of the Raven shirt. ECW! Hell yeah dude.
