Hey Boojakascha, thank you for documenting this amazing piece of history. I would have one question if you still read the comments here; it's regarding the actual functionality of Game Card 10. I have watched other available KZitem videos and it appears that the targeting dot simply becomes invisible when hit, but still keeps moving left and right while remaining invisible. Reloading the lightgun then reveals the dot (see the Odyssey Now Shooting Gallery as an example). However, in your video demonstration, when you shoot the dot not only does it disappear, but it also seems to stay in place where you successfully hit it. Only after you reload does the dot appear and begin moving again. Your version of the game seems more sophisticated and I don't understand this apparent discrepancy. Is it possible that you accidentally edited the video in a way that makes it appear like that? Are you using original hardware? Are other people not using the hardware correctly or is their hardware faulty? I'm in the process of designing a homebrew game utilising the functionality of Game Card 10 (though it might take me months to finally get my hands on one), so an answer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi AdekEku! You are right, the false behavior is down to editing. I use a real console and the real game, but for some reason I recorded without shooting and recreated the shots in editing. Sadly it's too long ago and I can't remember why I did so. I assume there was an issue with the capture hardware, that every time I shot, something weird happened to the capture. I will dig a bit to find out, but I can't promise anything =)

@@BoojakaschaI thought I was going crazy for a moment there; the footage implies the odyssey is able to keep the memory of where the hit was made, as well as remember the direction the ball was traveling - but the Odyssey has no memory. Now I can sleep easy again, thank you for the explanation.

I think it's #FF0000. I don't see a difference to the original colour, but I am the wrong person to ask.

I try to find a mouse alternative because: 1. I am former console player and want to be as good at shooters with a mouse 2. Mice arent ergonomic enough even though there exists 100 million different ones, most look the same 3. Mice dont have enough buttons, scroll wheels, sticks, trackballs. So my left hand has to do way more at the same time while gaming which doesnt make any sense considering i have unused fingers on my right hand. Thank you Boojakascha for making a video about literally every device this helps tremendously at finding good ideas for design!!! I hope there is a good picure of you online to be included in the hall of fame a few decades later :3 My current ideas are: - Wii remote possibly with one of the many attachment controllers - Some gun mouse - Ful finger tracking VR controller with or without an vr headset - Eye tracking for moving the mouse I still dont know if i just want to replace the mouse or also the keyboard Its sad to see that if all the cool people from the last 30 years have worked together and had enough funding this topic would already be solved

From my experience the Penguin United Crossfire has a massive dead zone in the bottom right corner of the screen, making it impossible to calibrate except when standing up and to the far left. Once it's calibrated it's pretty accurate but that is a very awkward angle to play from. However, there are two versions of the Crossfire (I have version 1 which doesn't support the Motion Plus attachment) so I don't know if that was fixed in version 2. Also, for something like House of the Dead 2/3 where rapid fire is a must, I found the Nyko Perfect Shot and Nyko Wand+ combo to be more reliable/consistent than the Crossfire.

@@Boojakascha I'm also curious so I'm on the lookout for version 2, but it may be a while before I can get one due to its extreme rarity and cost. If I do get one at some point, I'll be sure to reply in a comment. As far as gun shells go, while I'm overall happy with the Perfect Shot, I'm still on the lookout for something better. The trigger could be lighter, it's missing a proper sight for aiming, and the back of the gun is abrasive to my thumb after long play sessions. I'd like to try some of the examples you recommended but they seem to be impossible to find these days. Also, just wanted to say a big thank you for this amazing channel which has by far the most comprehensive set of light gun reviews I've seen anywhere.
