Atari XE lightgun works on Amiga?
« on: March 05, 2007, 12:40:51 AM »
Been checking the Phazer gun and it looks almost the same as the XE GAme System Atari gun.

You think tis gun would work with the Amiga?

Cheers!

Not sure if it will work, but the ones made for Sega MasterSystem works (with a simple adaptor). Perhaps it only works with whdload-installed games though. I havn't tried it with non-patched games.

I don't know if it will work, but would love to know which games can use the light gun?

I have what I was told is an Amiga lightgun that was commercially adapted by American Laser Games (I think that was their name) for the 3DO.  If that's true, then I wonder if the Atari one is the same too.

No the Atari XE light gun does NOT work with the Amiga.  It can be hacked to work from what I read.
