Re: Best Light Gun Games Of All Time

@bippity_bop I think Area 51 was the most ubiquitous light gun game back in the day, at least in my region. It was literally everywhere. That and Cruisin' USA, was pretty much standard in any arcade/movie theatre/bar.

Oh yeah, this guy's got some crazy skills. His work definitely elevated the Prime games.

As a visual artist myself, I watched one of his tutorials years ago. Unfortunately it wasn't very helpful for me personally. He had a strange process involving building up layers of shapes and textures, until you find your image within. Certainly interesting, but not at all how my brain works when it comes to drawing.

@RootsGenoa I hear you regarding Magician Lord, I've never liked it. Unattractive visuals, and stiff, slow character movement, not to mention unforgiving difficulty. Cool premise, just poor execution.

I've been wanting to play Nightmare in the Dark for the longest time now, but it inexplicably still hasn't been ported to Switch along with nearly ever other game on this list. Ah well, there's always emulation I suppose.
