Lightgun Games

I wonder how people with PS2's play PS1 light gun games like Elemental Gearbolt, and the first two Time Crisis games.

The "Gunvarl" Collection for PS2 is very good, I enjoyed it. It's got all three Point Blanks + Time Crisis. I've never played other releases of these games however so I can't make any comparisons.

Plug Guncon 1. Aim. Shoot.

No Guncon 2 support. Go ahead if you want to play with a pad.

Another vote for Virtua Cop 1. Just something about the pure simplicity of it that appeals to me, I mean even for a light gun game this is basic stuff. But I find the lack of distraction helps me enjoy the game more. And the multiplier system is utter perfection - straighforward enough to grasp straight away, frustrating and rewarding enough that nailing your high score is a genuinely enjoyable feat. I remember that the official Saturn gun was a joy to use as well, although the updated PS2 games with a GunCon were even better.

As for House Of The Dead 2, for me the the pace and design totally owns it's follow-up, which is a jerky, nasty port when eventually unlocked on Xbox HOTD3. Again, the official Sega DC gun was almost perfect.

Confidential Mission is pretty sweet as well.

Somebody please make a genre specific light gun game site with lists of all the light gun games all light guns and the theory behind the lightgun system (how it works) and what to look out for.

I have two GunCon 2's... Time Crisis 3 and Crisis Zone(both complete and boxed)
GunCon 2's wont work with a PS1 as they plug into the "usb" ports rather than the regular joypad ports.
I also have Time Crisis and Elemental GearBolt. I use a gun called the "Commander" and it features a multi port; so I can use it with Virtua Cop 1&2 on the Saturn, as well as House of the Dead 1.

BTW: Time Crisis 2 is on the PS2.(GunCon 2 gun)
