Today’s #RandomGameSaturday is a little less random than usual, since I just received the awesome physical copy of Pteropus, a really cute NES light gun game that released last year! It’s a simple and cute game where you’re protecting a species from extinction with a shooting gallery style!

who else remembers 'House of the Dead'? #art #fanart

the Curien Mansion from the video game 'The House of the Dead'.

The sky is a greying overcast with a reddish hue as sparce windows of the mansion are lit to show an eerie orange. The courtyard appears empty... for now...

I’ve used a lot of crazy light guns in my life, and I’ve played a lot of crazy Famicom clone consoles in my life, but never had a device that was both things combined, until getting this Power-Joy Famiclone several years ago. (1/4) #Famiclone #LightGun #PowerJoy #Famicom #NES

This is probably my least favorite game in the series, but it still has its charm, somehow or another. Happy late birthday, HOTD2!

Was talking about light gun arcade games a bit with some folks last night, and man I miss House of the Dead 4. Decided to bust the PS3 and the Move controllers out. Haven't actually used this thing in years.

A TV showing the PlayStation 3 XMB menu. The House of the Dead 4 is selected, and the background has changed to artwork of the two main characters, James Taylor & Kate Green.

Squeezing in a #RandomGameSaturday while I can, here’s Rambo III for the Sega Master System, a light gun game based on the 1988 film of the same name, which is entirely different from the many other games based on the same movie that released for Genesis, Arcade, and many home PC platforms (cont.)

Light Gun Fanatics @lightgunfanatics.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Operation Wolf is certainly an outlier in this list and is arguably a different genre, but it does kick lots of arse, so I can’t argue with it being here!

While in Chicago, I also got to try the non-VR version of Godzilla Kaiju Wars, 4-player ver. of ON TARGET, and Kaiju Rampage. All of these were really fun and I’m glad I finally got to check them out. Round 1 continues to impress with their frequent updating of game selection and quality.

On top of the awesome Galloping Ghost visit last week, I also got to check out some Round 1 locations in the Chicago area, which included new games and *finally* getting to try the nearly-complete build of the Resident Evil 2 arcade game at the location test! (Cont.) #LightGun #Arcade #RE2Arcade

Here’s a deep cut for arcade light gun fans. Data East tried to copycat Lethal Enforcers in the early 90s and this game is one bizarre bird. You can fire it up in MAME and give it a try 🔫

Today’s #RandomGameSaturday is Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James for the PS1! This was a late-in-the-game budget title published by Ubisoft and developed by Rebellion, the UK studio behind the Sniper Elite series, and this one tries to replicate Time Crisis gameplay in a Wild West setting (cont)

Also, squeezing in my #RandomGameSaturday for this week, it’s Virtua Cop! The first 3D-rendered light gun rail shooter, which hit arcades in 1994 and the Saturn in 1995. This marked a step forward in the genre and quickly inspired titles like Time Crisis and House of the Dead shortly after (cont.)

Today’s entry for #RandomGameSaturday is “Oh! Bakyuuun” for PS1, also released in Europe as “Ghoul Panic”. This is a port of the arcade game, and it’s essentially a spin-off of the Point Blank series. It plays pretty similarly, but with a spooky/cute aesthetic. Developed by Raizing/Eighting (cont)
