Anyone interested in light gun games? It's fun with two players.
I have the Time Crisis 2 as well.
GameStop/EB Games has it for 24.99. (Regularly 59.99)
IGN gave it an 8.4 (Impressive)

Not sure if we are allowed to post links. If not, let me know.
Time Crisis 3 with Dual Guncons

.....just passing a great deal to other members.

I ordered it. Came to 32 bucks with shipping and handling which I was a little disappointed about, but I don't own any gun games, and I figured I would give this a try since with 2 guns I can play with my girlfriend.

Just a note: Lightgun games including Time Crisis 3 can only be played using RCA hookups. The only way to use S-video or component hook-ups is to buy a separate adaptor. Pisses me off, as my PS2 looks like pure crap on RCA.

There is a free shipping code: FREESHIPALL

Damn, I could have used that code before.

MSA

See if they will honor the code.

I've never used an adaptor. Would this solve the issue?

2 player split screen is also rather disappointing, since it gives each person a square viewing area so as to keep the original ratio. The result is two small squares in a big black screen. All the empty space is scary.

That's not to say it isn't fun! It's a great game! Just note that if you don't have a good sized screen, two player split screen is a rather weak offering. Plus, at least it's offered.

Anyone know if light gun games work on DLP's?

The GunCon2's probably won't work on anything other than CRTs. As far as two players go, I believe this game allows for system link, so with two PS2s, two TVs, two games and two GunCon2's you could have a fairly close to arcade experience.

The coupon code you have entered is invalid, please enter another code or try again.

That comes up when entering the "FREESHIPALL" code. Thanks OP though as I picked one up for $32.26!

MSA

I used the GunCon 2 on a Sony projection with no problems.
I've also purchased these two guns. (Read up before you buy)

Scorpion 3 Lightgun (100Hz TV compatible) This one has a red LED target.

LCD TopGun (All TV Compatible) The first light gun to support ALL TV's (CRT, LCD, Plasma, DLP, Projector)
This one is my favorite!!

Wow that's horrible about the 2-player game. I only have a 27" tv until I start my accounting job, and can finally afford an HDTV. I guess I won't be playing this game with my girlfriend afterall.

MSA

It's not that bad on a 27".
Us gamers are now accustomed to bigger and better viewing. A blast from the past is not that bad. You two will have fun.

I cant get free shipping to work either.

I ordered it on Tuesday and the code worked for me.

Does this one have a goofy little detector you set on the TV/monitor is it's really picking up the signal from there? I tried one of those before and it work like crap (I think there might be a thread around here about it actually).

MSA

Here are a few reviews I found from IGN. Not the definitive by any means.

Guncon2 Review

LCD TopGun Review

Even though the GunCon2 is an ugly orange, It works pretty good I guess they made it look that way, rather than making it look realistic through painting, so kids etc. don't take them outside and get mistaken for carrying the real thing and getting hurt.
The other links I posted on light guns are for those that get a bit anal and want more.

I hooked up the game, and I have one major major gripe already. I don't know if I'm sitting wrong, or if I'm calibrating wrong, but I sometimes can't hit the edges of the screen. And I mean sometimes significant screen real estate is not being recognized. I have yet to be able to hit the lower right exit button which as you can imagine is quite a pain. Weirdly I had no problems during the story mode until around midway through the second stage where there was a guy sitting in the left side of the screen, where I could not hit. It goes from trigger a fraction too far to the right, to no bullet hole on the screen at all. Time was about to run out so I shut off the game in frustration to see if you guys had any tips to calibrate it better. My tv is an old 27" tv, and I notice while watching Pardon the Interruption that the bottom logo is sometimes half cut off and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
