Back when I was a kid I only got to play area 51 a handful of times in arcade and once on ps1 but with controller(definitely can't touch light gun gameplay lol). But I did buy the ps1 big box time crisis. Played the absolute shit out of that game...could get 100% accuracy the first few stages. And that was before taping a laser pointer along the top rail... calibrated to the dot Few months ago got my gameroom mostly set up...good ol 27" toshiba back in use. And just recently found TC Project Titan at local game store. Still haven't played it though, had a rough day today and wanting to unwind...saved it for today... Happy lightgun shooting:)
I love light guns i bought a 50 inch crt to enjoy all my lightgun game. Also if you have a justifier and silent hill you can plug the justifier into the 2nd port to get the blaster from the start of the game
I think you can use a regular PS1 controller as the floor button for Time Crisis. Give it a go. I don't think it matters what button you press with your foot.
Damn that cracked me up. Thinking of my ps1 controller on the floor and my nasty big toe pressing buttons to duck/reload lol. I had a laser pointer taped to my original guncon so I had aim assist for t crisis and point blank. Until my cousin told me that's probably not a good idea because it might burn out individual pixels on my 27" Toshiba back in the day. Not sure if that's accurate but my TV never failed and is still used to this day. Really really miss those times...better days!
Definitely works. I actually just held the controller in my left hand and pushed the button normally. Slightly faster than using my foot and a lot less awkward lol.
Awesome video guys. You can tell you put a lot of work into this. I had no clue about so many of these and they look fun! But yes please do PS2 next then PS3 move!!! I think a cool video idea would be a best CRT TV's for retro gaming and you can show off what you have and what ones are best for what consoles, light guns, etc. I would love that video!
@@GamingOffTheGrid oh sweet! Thank you. I just found a couple move controllers and a Sony gun holder at the thrift store so now I have to pick up some games!
I absolutely LOVE the Die Hard 2 levels in Die Hard Trilogy. My pathetic gaming crowning achievement is beating it using an original controller with the d-pad. If you guys ever run across a Mad Catz Fazor it’s well worth picking up. Very light & feels awesome in the hand. Plus it came with swappable ends so that it could be used with a PS1 or Saturn.
I 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
With ammo shortages and the price of ammunition skyrocketing, I will have to dust of my old Guncon and CRT for some shooting range fun. Also you are 100% correct, the Point Blank games are a must. If they had been ported to the Wii I would have made mess in trousers, lol. 😄 Great video guys, thank you.
Great video and content guys! As a side note, if you’re playing PS1 games on your PS2 you must use a PS1 memory card for saves. You can’t save using PS2 memory cards.
Judge dredd ps1 with all the chessy fmvs & Project horned howl with character/ enemy designs /cutscenes by the artist Masamune Shirow of Ghost in a shell fame.The fact that game is still affordable is a blessing.The Nuby light 🔫 is what I like best with rumble and many other features such as three speeds of rapid fire+auto reload!🙀also supports the Saturn 🪐. 😍Project titan and Elemental gearbolt are amazing.Point blank 2 is my fav of the three.I hope for a PS2 lightgun video yall include 🦇Vampire Night🦇🥳
Cool vid guys. There is another game by Namco called Ghoul Panic. Its similar to Point Blank and was in the arcades as well. Not a lot of people know about it. I believe it only came out on PS1 in PAL regions. I have a copy myself. Its worth checking out if you're a fan of the Namco arcade party shooters. 😊
Unfortunately ntsc-U/C players can't utilize a PAL CRT TV in North America without quite a lot of power source finagling and even then it's not likely going to work. .....Was frustrated to read about a sequel to PS1's Jesse James - a character from the North American - having a PAL territory sequel release supporting lightgun on the PS2 but North America didn't.
Picked up a CRT and an NES Zapper and goddamn if there isn’t something just so satisfying about using a light gun. Fingers crossed the geniuses who put a man on the moon can figure out a way to make ones that work on modern TVs one day!
Thank you! I played Elemental Gearbolt back when the game came out and remember having an AMAZING time with it. As I've gotten older though, I had completely forgotten the name of the game! It was easily my favorite back in the day, even trumping Area 51 simply for it's unique gameplay.
Nice video bros. Just had a stiff Jack Daniels drink and got super educated on PS1 light gun games. Am I going to go out and buy a CRT TV and all of the original accessories for my PlayStation? Absolutely not. Did this video kick ass? Absolutely yes.
I noticed a lot of people want to get into retro light Gun gaming, but getting a CRT TV is to big of a hurdle for them. CRT TV's are heavy , bulky and can be an all around pain in the ass. But you don't have to go that big.. I have a 15 CRT TV that I play light Gun games on and it's great. I just bought an old 17 monitor that works great as well. I love these old 15 to 20 inch TV and monitors. They are lite weight and very easy to move place to place. They are also cheap and easy to find. So don't let getting a CRT TV stop you from getting into retro light Gun games. And trust me, the PS1 and PS2 have the best light Gun games of any consoles.👍🤩
Please cover the system link ps2 time crisis shit I'm literally building a custom cabinet with two CRTs for system link light gun regular light gun game and linked racers keep kicking ass guys Lovin the light guns
Trust me from my personal experience, if you suspect the retro stuff will piss off your wife, chances are it most certainly will. If you care about your marriage, the retro game stuff is not worth it.
Thank you guys for this video! So great! Seeing these games that I used to have brought back so many awesome memories! If memory serves right, I used the Mad Catz steering wheel foot pedals in port 2 for Time Crisis for duck/ reload.I also used a 2nd PS controller for the same thing. Try it out if you can and let me know. 👍🏻😁🍺
Totally understand on the feel of crt and light gun games. I have area 51, v cop 1 and 2. The kids get so excited when I break out the saturn light guns. Virtual porn is great, but nothing ever beats out the real thing. Just like video games
The Logic 3 P99L is the best lightgun hand down, fully compatible with PS1/2 works for every game and has BLOW BACK! It’s also just as accurate as the Guncon1/2 Highly recommended
I 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.
Love 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
Holy shit that first gun the snot cannon 9000 looks sick but I want that gold badboy omg I could picture it now goldcon in one hand nuts in the other and unleashing the wrath from within in time crisis like John Matrix (Commando) & John Rambo (Rambo) quote the raven nevermore.
I have a ps2 that I haven’t played in a long time I just found it today and Decided to plug it, it connected perfectly to the power but it doesn’t go beyond the red dot and I don’t know what can be the problem? Can you help?
Some of the flat CRT televisions have issues in the corners with games. Go curved tube, not flat. Got to say the Logic 3 Predator 2 light gun is my favorite light gun. Fits great in the hand , works on PS1, PS2, and Sega Saturn. Very accurate. Has lots of nice features, Foot pedal, and Rumble. Works with Justafier games and Guncon Games. Elemental Gearbolt is an amazing game! Great soundtrack, and the score system is very unique. Looking forward to the Saturn and PS2 episodes. Great episode guys. Thanks for all the hard work.
Great video guys! I love playing light gun games with my son and we have played a lot of them, but you showed us one that we did not know about. Videos and games like this bring people together.
I 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.
Its very overlooked! When casual gamers think lightgun games they think arcade more than consoles! We already have a ps3 lightgun buying guide video! If you filter to our most popular videos its number 3 for an easy way to find it! We plan to do the ps2 lightgun buying guide in the future! Cheers!
Just 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.
Just 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.
Kinda 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
I have 20 game consoles and the lights guns I love them and most of the lights gun games I love the 3do console and the fmv games I have all of them and five 3do light gunsi I all of my consoles and light gun games thanks for the awesome video.
Love 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.
I wanted to add that if the pedal isn't working, reviews for that thing have been horrendous for it not working, pick up a steering wheel that plugs into the controller port, not USB if using a PS2. For Gun Fighters, in particular, & probably Time Crisis, haven't tried it, you can put a racing wheel in controller port 2 & use the pedals as your "action" button. I use a Mad Catz MC2 for my PS2 setup. I don't think it works for the PS1 itself but for PS1 played on PS2, works great.
Star 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I'll add that some PS1 games do not work on the PS2. But alot of the games do work, for example Spyro the Dragon for instance, there's been alot of games that were unsupported on the PS2 for various reasons, but it is what it is...
Have Area 51, Crypt Killer, and Maximum Force on Saturn, love them all here! Still need The Justifier with Project Horned Owl (you found it since MGC already!?!) and Lethal Enforcers. Then the Point Blank games and the grail - Elemental Gearbolt.
About 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...
There is. We use the Elgato HD which has a dongle for AV/ Component inputs. We split the signal from our TV and run a cord to that. We have a tech video in the works that should be out in a few weeks that will go into depth how we run our set up. Cheers!
I 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!
I don't know why the cheat for this game never gets discussed but for Area 51 if you shoot the first 3 cops in the back, the game reboots and you start as the aliens. It's a cool twist.
Yeah, the reason the Guncon is so accurate is because it pulls sync from the composite line. Also, there is some really dope microswitch mods for the Guncon family that makes it feel even more like the arcade. I keep a PS1 with an optical drive emulator exactly for games like Elemental Gearbolt. Dope game, but I don't think I'll ever own a physical copy (albeit a miracle) All the Point Blank games are money, too!
We have the Madcats gun on Dreamcast that has the Dreamcast logo on it. We have the Pelican one as well and it ok but not as good as the Madcats gun. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!
There are some flat screen CRT's that have troubles, but it's hit or miss. It's usually because of geometry issues and the guns get less accurate as you start shooting closer to the edges of the screen. My Sony WEGA will work, if the game has the option to calibrate.
"probably"? lol you will DEFINITELY need to get a CRT, even the sinden lightgun (best solution currently for a digital light gun) is nowhere near as good as a CRT+guncon
Guys, can u make a video about VR rail shooting games? Im so fkn love LightGun expirience, but honestly, they are dead for consoles. VR has a huge potential for rail shooters, but id like to see a list of them by true LG-fans)) im looking for haouse of the dead\time crisis expirience in VR!
I never really got into PS1 light gun stuff, but I fucked with them heavy on PS2 (& of course the arcade). I have the big box Vampire Night, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, had a Time Crisis at one point. Oddly enough I think I have one of the Point Blank games & a PS1 light gun of some type. So much of my childhood in the 90s was at the arcades. I was on pretty much every light gun shooter there was at the time. I probably got the most time out of Area 51 & the Time Crisis games since those seemed to be the most popular/had the most install base.

Area 51 is my favorite light gun game, I legitimately bought 2 Justifiers (one CIB) just to enjoy it the best way possible lmao
Love Area 51 and the PS1 port is so good!
Back when I was a kid I only got to play area 51 a handful of times in arcade and once on ps1 but with controller(definitely can't touch light gun gameplay lol). But I did buy the ps1 big box time crisis. Played the absolute shit out of that game...could get 100% accuracy the first few stages. And that was before taping a laser pointer along the top rail... calibrated to the dot
Few months ago got my gameroom mostly set up...good ol 27" toshiba back in use. And just recently found TC Project Titan at local game store. Still haven't played it though, had a rough day today and wanting to unwind...saved it for today...
Happy lightgun shooting:)
Just the episode I wanted to see!
I actually started collecting lightgun games for the PS1 a week ago. So many good ones!
yeah the ps1 light gun game library has tons of good choices. enjoy
I have a basement full of Sony and JVC CRTs, well worth the arguments and hassle from the lady ✊
sounds like my garage. gotta have some on spare when they go out. cheers

Was PS1 snatcher compatible with Konami Justifier? Or is that just the Sega versions?

we definitely will release one in the future bro. lol yeah it definitely can break the bank

That was awesome I'd love to see a Dreamcast light gun video
Yes! 🤘🍻

Point Blank 2 is the greatest competitive lightgun game ever made

I have 20 game consoles and the lights guns I love them and most of the lights gun games I love the 3do console and the fmv games I have all of them and five 3do light gunsi I all of my consoles and light gun games thanks for the awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Lightguns are so much fun! Cheers!
POW pow time I want the house of dead 2 set up so bad.
Oh by the way the Nykon guncon version has kickback as well. It's an awesome gun!!
Yeah we noticed that! We like it! Feels like a real gun! Cheers!
i like the sega stunner (without a squeaky springy trigger). wish they made more controllers like them
yeah ive used that once it had a good feel. i csnt think of another like it
Have y’all tried the desert eagle light gun. I just got two of them. Now I have to find games
We haven’t unfortunately. You’ll have to let us know how it works for you. Cheers 🍻
Love 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.
Thanks brotha! Much appreciated. Cheers!
I need to get more PS1 light gun games. They are so much fun 😎
Nyko also has there guncon version that works with all games as well. I have both!!
Very good option also! Cheers!
I wanted to add that if the pedal isn't working, reviews for that thing have been horrendous for it not working, pick up a steering wheel that plugs into the controller port, not USB if using a PS2.
For Gun Fighters, in particular, & probably Time Crisis, haven't tried it, you can put a racing wheel in controller port 2 & use the pedals as your "action" button.
I use a Mad Catz MC2 for my PS2 setup. I don't think it works for the PS1 itself but for PS1 played on PS2, works great.
Great video guys. Some more games to add to my playstation collection 😁 can't wait for the playstation 2 light gun games video!
thanks man glad you enjoyed it. theres a good chance you see that in the future. have a good one
Star 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I'm pretty sure die hard trilogy doesn't work with any guns
Ours did but not super well
Could you make a video on 2-player PS1 and PS2 light gun games?
That could come down the pipe in the future! Cheers!
The Point Blank and Time Crisis series were the all time best light gun games.
I'll add that some PS1 games do not work on the PS2. But alot of the games do work, for example Spyro the Dragon for instance, there's been alot of games that were unsupported on the PS2 for various reasons, but it is what it is...
they are definitely great iconic games that we enjoy
I 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
A lot of really fun rail shooting games on the ps1
yeah the library of ps1 lightgun games is great. one of the best eras of light gun games
The Nyko gun...which is really good works with both.
It is a very solid gun for sure! Cheers!
Have Area 51, Crypt Killer, and Maximum Force on Saturn, love them all here! Still need The Justifier with Project Horned Owl (you found it since MGC already!?!) and Lethal Enforcers. Then the Point Blank games and the grail - Elemental Gearbolt.
About 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...
We just like the good ole GunCon! There might be better but thats what we use! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I meant like for games that aren't compatible with Guncons
you would of thought by now they would of found a way to get em working on hd tv !
just dont think hd tvs were built for lightgun games. its become more for vr unfortunately
I’m missing a “PlayStation One”lightgun game where’s “Ghoul Panic”made by “Namco”and an exclusive!
Sadly it was never released in North America for the PlayStation. We did get it in arcades though
@@GamingOffTheGrid Maybe you can import it and play it on “PlayStation 3”Because it is region free.I’m not sure if it works But it might..
How much did yall pay for elemental gearbolt back when yall bought it?
Quite a bit bro, $175
@@GamingOffTheGrid ouch. Queue the Sanford and son meme with Fred Sanford grabbing his chest due to a heart attack
You didn’t mention using a Fat ps3 as an option to play the ps1 games? I guess slims are compatible with ps1 as well?
No controller ports. Unless there’s an adapter possibly.
@@GamingOffTheGrid ahhh. Yeah. Would have to use an adapter , usb to ps1 , kinda like the Xarcade fightstick adapter.
@@GamingOffTheGrid i do recall a ps2 controller adapter existing for the ps3
This may sound like a crazy question but is there any way to stream guncon games with a crt and original hardware?
There is. We use the Elgato HD which has a dongle for AV/ Component inputs. We split the signal from our TV and run a cord to that. We have a tech video in the works that should be out in a few weeks that will go into depth how we run our set up. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid great i look forward to that. Thank you 🙏🏾
I 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!
Great video. The point Blank games are my favorite since I use to play the actual arcade at the local pizza shop after middle school.✌🏻
I don't know why the cheat for this game never gets discussed but for Area 51 if you shoot the first 3 cops in the back, the game reboots and you start as the aliens. It's a cool twist.
thats pretty cool we actually didnt knoe that. now we will have to test that out. thanks for the tip cheers
@@GamingOffTheGrid Just don't shoot anything else but the first 3 STARS or it won't work.
Yeah, the reason the Guncon is so accurate is because it pulls sync from the composite line. Also, there is some really dope microswitch mods for the Guncon family that makes it feel even more like the arcade. I keep a PS1 with an optical drive emulator exactly for games like Elemental Gearbolt. Dope game, but I don't think I'll ever own a physical copy (albeit a miracle) All the Point Blank games are money, too!
what guncon do you use to play hotd 2 dreamcast? i have the pelican stinger and the trigger gets stuck sometimes- super annoying
We have the Madcats gun on Dreamcast that has the Dreamcast logo on it. We have the Pelican one as well and it ok but not as good as the Madcats gun. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!
@@GamingOffTheGrid i've heard that the madcats are terrible to use for hotd but if yall say so i might order one..
luv the channel- cheers
Ive heard rumblings about light guns not working on flat glass crt tvs. Do you know anything for sure?
They work on our Flat trinitrons. Just not the ones with hdmi
There are some flat screen CRT's that have troubles, but it's hit or miss. It's usually because of geometry issues and the guns get less accurate as you start shooting closer to the edges of the screen. My Sony WEGA will work, if the game has the option to calibrate.
I just got hit with nostalgia from that ps1 start up.
Best start up hands down
Awesome video with great editing! Cheers! 🍻
Glad you enjoyed! Had a lot of fun making this one.
Yes! ps2 please!! Keep up the good work fellas!
very good chance you see it in the future. cheers man
"probably"? lol you will DEFINITELY need to get a CRT, even the sinden lightgun (best solution currently for a digital light gun) is nowhere near as good as a CRT+guncon
Does anybody know if the Justifier works on a PS2 with PS1 games?
Yes it will! We had a buddy tell us this! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Thanks guys, time to fire up the PS2 for some old good Lethal Enforces sessions.
Guys, can u make a video about VR rail shooting games? Im so fkn love LightGun expirience, but honestly, they are dead for consoles. VR has a huge potential for rail shooters, but id like to see a list of them by true LG-fans)) im looking for haouse of the dead\time crisis expirience in VR!
I never really got into PS1 light gun stuff, but I fucked with them heavy on PS2 (& of course the arcade). I have the big box Vampire Night, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, had a Time Crisis at one point. Oddly enough I think I have one of the Point Blank games & a PS1 light gun of some type.
So much of my childhood in the 90s was at the arcades. I was on pretty much every light gun shooter there was at the time. I probably got the most time out of Area 51 & the Time Crisis games since those seemed to be the most popular/had the most install base.
