Tompig Posted July 5, 2015 Da fuq is this... http://tinyurl.com/p55lu38 I was looking for PC light guns to create my own mame cabinet (drop me a PM if you know any good ones, torn between the Arcadeguns.com ones and the AimTrak guys.) and found this... thing. Thoughts? EDIT: If anyone is brave (foolish) enough to buy it, for the sake of science please get it working it tell us what it does exactly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted July 5, 2015 I... uh... hmm. I wonder if it uses the http://doomwiki.org/wiki/External_control_driver edit: looks like it was just a "normal" joystick: 0 Share this post Link to post
ETTiNGRiNDER Posted July 5, 2015 I've seen a YouTube video of that and it looks awful. It's not a light gun, it's just a weirdly shaped joystick, and to hit the secondary button you have to take your finger off of the motion stick. Edit: Warning: reviewer sounds about 12. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tompig Posted July 5, 2015 It does open the question of 'Is the chaingun in DooM infact a HUGE pistol?' would make sense why they have the same ammo. ./mindblown 0 Share this post Link to post

Buckshot Posted July 6, 2015 KEEP AWAY FROM THAT. I've been watching it for days. If my DOOM pewter collection purchase attempt falls through... I'm buying it. NOT YOU. oh.... hell have no mercy like someone eyeballing the same thing as I. Remember what the revenant did to doomguy at the end of the e3 expo demo? yeahhh.. you better watch it mister. walk away. WALK away. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted July 6, 2015 Too bad it doesn't have motion controls. 0 Share this post Link to post
Randy87 Posted July 6, 2015 Heh, I actually had that as a kid. I can't remember a thing about it, but I doubt I got much use out of it. 0 Share this post Link to post

MFG38 Posted July 6, 2015 That's a damn interesting find. The look of it actually has me wondering if they used that thing for the chaingun sprites in Doom. It's a theory, right? 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted July 6, 2015 Looks like they used the Tootsie Toy "Ol' Painless" Gatling Gun, according to Blackmantis and the Wiki. 0 Share this post Link to post
