Title: Games supporting the Trojan Phaser gun
Post by: djkoelkast on July 24, 2004, 06:10:04 PM

Hi all,

I own a Trojan Phaser gun for 'duck-hunt'-like games.
I have no idea where the original games that came with it are.

Which games support the Trojan Phaser gun and are there still games available (PD, download, buy)...??

Please help as I like playing with this lightgun but with no guns...

Space Gun by Ocean supports the Phaser.  I saw it on eBay once or twice but did not buy because gun games are only fun on a large television, and the copies of Space Gun I've seen were all PAL.

I saved the contents of the driver disks for the Trojan pen and guns.

One of the games is called `Skeet Shoot' and the driver for the Trojan
lightpen is `Quickdraw'.

I haven't seen any 3rd party games for it though. Do lightguns work on
VGA monitors?

Anyway, I'll try upload the driver disks to Aminet and
Amiga-Hardware.org should anyone be curious.

for as far as I know there was no driver for it and Skeet Shoot I played it indeed!

Does the Amiga hardware site have pictures? I can make them ;)

About to search for games and try it on a VGA monitor ;-)

If you have any software on Aminet plese tell me where. Thanks in advance.

There's quite a few games.

But I also have an A500 with normal 1084 monitor ;-)

As a matter of fact the Trojan Phaser DOES work on my A4000 with VGA monitor, but is not very accurate.
But it wroks and I'm happy now :-D

Light guns work based on the refesh rate of a CRT.  An Amiga lightgun would look for a 25 or 30hrz refresh rate, which is way lower than modern VGA monitors, or scan-doubled Amigas.
Some modern lightguns take scanrates into account, but many still do not.  For example, the MadCatz gun for Xbox only works when the Xbox and TV are set to 480i.

I just tried with my Atari XE light gun and my 20" VGA monitor.  It interacts to some extent, but it drifts in and out of accuracy... Maybe if the scanrate was *exactly* double that of NTSC it wold stay accurate?
