Konami Justifier
The Justifier is a light gun peripheral released by Konami for numerous home console games. Konami released versions of the gun for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES, and PlayStation consoles. The original gun appeared similar to a Colt Python. The guns were originally designed for use with the home versions of Konami's '' Lethal Enforcers'' games, although they are also compatible with other titles. Models The Genesis and Super NES versions of the Justifier light gun were modeled after the revolver-shaped light gun controllers employed by the original ''Lethal Enforcers'' arcade game cabinet. The blue Justifier gun connects directly to the console. Optionally, a pink Justifier can be daisy chained into the blue gun for use by a second player. The pink Justifier was sold separately and is compatible with both the Super NES and Genesis models of the blue gun through a 6-pin RJ-11 phone cord.

Area 51 (1995 Video Game)
''Area 51'' is a light gun arcade game released by Time Warner Interactive in 1995. It takes its name from the Area 51, military facility. The plot of the game involves the player taking part in a Strategic Tactical Advanced Alien Response (STAAR) military incursion to prevent Extraterrestrials in fiction, aliens, known as the Kronn, and alien-created zombies from taking over the Area 51 military facility.

The Lost Gold
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Mad Dog McCree
''Mad Dog McCree'' is the first live-action laserdisc video game released by American Laser Games. It originally appeared as an arcade game in 1990. The game gained considerable attention for its live-action video style, bearing similarities to contemporary Hollywood Western films. Its success inspired a series of similar live-action rail shooter games in the following years. Gameplay In a series of stages, the player must shoot enemies before they fire, avoid shooting innocent bystanders, and reload each time their six-round revolver is depleted of bullets. Shooting a bystander or getting hit by a gunfighter results in the loss of one life out of three and is followed by a clip showing the town doctor commenting on the player's actions. However, this traditional light gun shooter gameplay is interspersed with "showdowns", which are fast draw duels that play the same as American Laser Games's later release '' Fast Draw Showdown''. The arcade version is equipped with a specia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Snatcher'' is a cyberpunk graphic adventure game developed and published by Konami. It was written and designed by Hideo Kojima and first released in 1988 for the PC-8801 and MSX, MSX2 in Japan. ''Snatcher'' is set in a future East Asian metropolis where humanoid robots dubbed "Snatchers" have been discovered killing humans and replacing them in society.

Gameplay takes place primarily through a menu-based interface through which the player can choose to examine items, search rooms, speak to characters, explore a semi-open world, and perform other actions.

Development on the PC versions took more than twice as long as the average game of the tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gun Fighters
A gun is a device that propels a projectile using pressure or explosive force. The projectiles are typically solid, but can also be pressurized liquid (e.g. in water guns or cannons), or gas (e.g. light-gas gun). Solid projectiles may be free-flying (as with bullets and artillery shells) or tethered (as with Tasers, spearguns and harpoon guns). A large-caliber gun is also called a ''cannon''. Guns were designed as weapons for military use, and then found use in hunting. Now, there are guns, e.g., toy guns, water guns, paintball guns, etc., for many purposes. The means of projectile propulsion vary according to designs, but are traditionally effected pneumatically by a high gas pressure contained within a barrel tube (gun barrel), produced either through the rapid exothermic combustion of propellants (as with firearms), or by mechanical compression (as with air guns). The high-pressure gas is introduced behind the projectile, pushing and accelerating it down the length of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
