It's finally here in The Cave, the light gun that promises to end all of our problems. Light gun games are a special gaming genre. I've always been a huge fan of them, especially light gun arcade games like Time Crisis, Mad Dog McCree and Point Blank. Light gun signals from classic devices which require a CRT are not compatible with modern displays and solutions such as the Aimtrak Light Gun just haven't felt up to the job of delivering an arcade perfect light gun experience. In my Sinden Lightgun review today we find out it works as well as the prototype we first saw in 2019 on a range of arcade emulators including American Laserdiscs classic shooting games.

Thanks for watching! And if you were wondering, yes Andy has confirmed he's working on a driver for the MiSTer so that's one to test just as soon as it becomes available. I hope you enjoyed the video and if you'd like to support The Cave head on over to patreon.com/rmcretro for 1 week of early, ad free access to all videos. Right now we're watching the next episode of the CDTV Trash to Treasure series. Thanks Neil - RMC

Just wanted to pop in and suggest you use a rear-projection screen and mount the projector from behind in mirrored/reversed display mode. That way anyone could walk in front or stand at any angle without blocking or interfering with the image itself. As for the mister drivers, It's awesome to hear that the Sinden gun is likely going to end up with the level of support and community appreciation it deserves!

The first thing to came to mind when you mentioned the option for a machinegun mode on the recoil, was Terminator 2 the arcade game. Much like Operation Wolf it was not a light gun game in the proper sense, but instead used a pair of guns mounted to "joysticks". But the sound and feel of those guns while rattling away at T-800s and whatsnot instantly leapt to mind.

And well the amount of configuring in their app and mame/every emulator (teknoprrot) is just as much as dolphinbar, Wii mote, and a nice shell. I just can’t justify 600. When I have 2 awesome gun shells that have recoil for Wiimotes. At 300 for 2 guns. I would do it.

@@squirlmy well, many amputees online regularly enjoy discussing their prosthetic limbs, in a manner much as you might for a car or a bike. It sounds as if you’ve mostly read medical information rather than observed how people tend to live with it? Absolutely, within the sub-community which already call themselves cyborgs, someone had thought about doing Robocop cosplay with theirs if not actually done one. Electronic prosthetic limbs are often a lot more compact than the ones they’re replacing, so adding a shell that holds the Robocop stuff would not be hard at all.

I don't know about the UK, but the orange tips are required by law in the US. To be honest, it's a lot more likely that someone, especially a minor, with a fake gun would "accidentally" get shot here. It's happened before. This may be the one area the US has more restrictive "gun laws" than other countries. lol Actually, I suppose anyone can do what they want after purchasing, but no sales are allowed without it.

This does definitely look like a decent product. Those set up issues will put off the casual gamer that wants to play Time Crisis on their Playstation though. Good job there are plenty of us that like to sit and tweak options all day though. Great video Neil.

I'll probably be purchasing one of these _(non-recoil)_ later this year and if I'm happy with its performance. I'll purchase a second recoil version. They will be a great addition towards my collection of local coop games. Since I'm not interested in online gaming as much any more. I prefer a nice selection of 2-4 local multiplayer games that can be played with friends while having a few beers. No long game setups and no long games. Can pause or quit at any moment.

FInally ordered one last night after watching this video, excited although I'm a emulation noob. Fingers crossed it won't be too difficult to re-play time crisis 1,2 & 3 once the light gun arrives. (I hear too there is now a TC 5!?! so super stoked to explore a new game too)

What timing i recently bought a guncon 45 and a guncon 2 for my ps2. I lucky as i have albeit a small crt tv combi but it does the job. I also bought a copy of pretty much every light gun game available on ps1 and ps2. Damn the old days were the best having so much fun and so nostalgic. May look at picking one of these up in the future but there nothing like having the proper hardware. Although it is hard getting crt tvs now round where i am anyway.

Great gun and nice review. I agreed with Mark but taking a look at some old arcade machines they had the same design so better to play with a single hand, a skill to be developed in itself.

Great update, thanks Neil. Is there a plan to make a wireless version? The lithium battery could be mounted in the hand grip. Would also be nice to see the addition of a foot pedal to allow you to duck in games such as time crisis.
@RMCRetro
@RMCRetro 3 жыл бұрын
Andy says he wants to finish the current fulfillment and project before a wireless model. It would be fun to try out. Emulators can map anything to a button in most instances so you could use anything from a custom made pedal to a keyboard you're stepping on the space-bar with to be a pedal (not recommended) that doesn't have to be specific to the Sinden
