After hearing a video games discussion on the Giant Bomb Beast cast all about Lightguns it got me thinking about how today’s video games generally don’t necessitate the need for these cool peripherals and how over the years I have played with a fair few awesome lightguns.
1. Atari XG1 – Atari XEGS
Packed in with Bug Hunt this was my first foray into Lightgun territory.

2. NES Zapper – Nintendo Entertainment System
The perfect companion to Duck Hunt and the ideal way to show off your NES to your mates.

3. Konami Justifier – Super Nintendo / SEGA MD
Built for Lethal Enforcers, this is a cool looking bright coloured lightgun.

4. GUNCON – PlayStation
Considered to be one of the best lightguns of all time, this beaut was a pleasure to play Time Crisis and Point Blank with.

5. SEGA Phaser – SEGA Master System
Not many great lightgun games were on the SMS but if you were going to play anything, it had to be Operation Wolf!

6. The SEGA Menacer – SEGA Mega Drive
SEGA’s response the Super Scope but without any decent games to back it up so it is considered a flop.

Again there weren’t many supported games that utilised the Magnum but it looked cool!

The Super Scope is a beast. It’s like having a scaffolding pipe on your shoulder while playing a video game.

10. Wii Zapper – Nintendo Wii
This for me felt right and enhanced the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combo no end. Resident Evil IV + Wii Zapper = Perfection.
