    Anyone into light gun games? I’ve got one of those Sinden light buns but I hardly ever use it and I really should now that I’ve got a good gaming desktop.

      I really enjoy light gun games - and I've got two of the Sindens from the original Kickstarter. I can recommend the obvious Time Crisis and House of the Dead (Pretty much all of those franchises)...

      I can recommend the obvious Time Crisis and House of the Dead (Pretty much all of those franchises) but I also enjoy Ghost Squad (I played the Wii version a ton) and the Gun blade/ LA Machine Guns games.

      Of course, I love the more classic Area 51 games and the Big Buck Hunter games are fun, if campy and not deep or replayable outside of a night of drinking.

      My favourite light gun game is a little on the obscure side. It's Battle Clash on the SNES. It's a really fun strategic light gun game where you're in a mech, fighting other mechs in first person. You're the gunner, and there's a pilot taking care of movement. It has a cool story as well. It's essentially a series of boss fights where each mech has a unique way of working, and method for being taken down. It got a sequel as well, Metal Combat Falcons Revenge.

      There are a bunch of score and speedrun communities for light gun games if you have a particular game you enjoy. I'm on the discord for Time Crisis speedruns, and it tends to be quiet but...

      There are a bunch of score and speedrun communities for light gun games if you have a particular game you enjoy. I'm on the discord for Time Crisis speedruns, and it tends to be quiet but occasionally someone gets the drive to hunker down on a score and it's fun to watch.
