Only in Brazil... seriously!

You can't do this with a Zapper (but you could with a Famicom gun) :P.

I have one kicking about somewhere i you really want it!  Sega light gun games were really great, perhaps better than the NES ones even.  Yes I'm being serious.

I don't think the U.S got the Sega light gun because of the school shootings that occurred shortly before.. but eventually, third party companies came out with them.

I don't like to admit it, but I have to agree with that. I own a Sega Master System Light Phaser and two games for it and both the gun and the games are leaps and bounds better than the Nintendo ones. The Sega gun is like a light pen, instead of a simple light detector like the Nintendo gun, giving pixel accurate precision and no white squares on the screen. Also Shooting Gallery is much like Wii Play, pretty enjoyable.

As much as I like Nintendo I have to admit that Sega is better in that aspect. And now somebody managed to use a Sega light gun for real life crime, simply EPIC

@nintendodork:  That was the DC light gun.  America got the SMS gun.

NES zapper games aren't all that great, and I've played them all in some form except for Chiller (Gumshoe I've only played in the Arcade).  So unless Chiller is great, and I doubt it, then I wouldn't be surprised if the zapper games are better on Sega...even as a kid, the almighty Duck Hunt wasn't very fun.

Chiller is weird on the NES...now ...in the arcade?

...whoa

Well to be fair, she (the hostage) might have seen the Anime ZILLION
and totally freaked when she thought the guy had the power to "atomize" her
into nothing.  I mean, the SMS gun is the Zillion Gun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7FMinLBEYU)  ;D ;) 
***One of the reasons I always loved the SMS gun over the NES.

This is just crazy. At least people still find usage to old gaming peripherals.

May as well head to Brazil with the "Virtua Cop" light guns
and assist you guys.  I mean, if we're taking old school stuff
might as well.  Should I bring a PHOTON or Laser Tag gun
too?  ;D

"OPERATION BOO!"
is in effect, when do we
board the plane for Brazil?
Title: Re: Man holds woman hostage for ten hours...
Post by: nintendodork on March 22, 2009, 08:14:34 pm
Where do you get the name "Operation BOO!"?  Just wondering :P

I say we board THE CHOPPA at 0600 hours.  I'll make sure to bring extra batteries for my SuperScope :P

Well I thought it make sense since we're joking around about  "scaring people in Brazil" with light guns for aging video game systems is all.  Kind of my play on Taito's "Operation" gun games like Operation Wolf or Operation Thunderbolt.  So you know... we rise up with our SMS Zillion Guns, Konami Enforcers, Sega Menacers, Sega Virtua Cop Guns, Nintendo Super Scopes, and whatever else and yell:  BOO!

I dunno, just sounded funny in my mind I guess.  ;)

Every time I see the game Operation Thunderbolt I think I'll be playing an Israeli commando invading Uganda. There was an Israeli Military Operation called Thunderbolt in real life.

That's OK.  You can still threaten to Falcon Punch people.
