Sinden light gun

[Tom Speirs]

Its probably old news to some of you but I certainly want one.

I've just discovered these within the last couple weeks myself.  They do look pretty nice if you're looking for these type of controllers.

WANT! Sinden Lightgun!

I'd have to order two with recoil. Alicia loves Area 51 and would insist on playing... which is not a bad thing!

Ok, yeah I want a set.  About $350 is kinda steep though when I'm not in a budget for that right now.  I read a bit more into it as far as details.  It hooks into your mouse; so as long as you have Linux/Windows that works with a mouse it will work.  Not sure how accurate aiming would be though.  I have an air mouse remote for my TV and it sure doesn't line up when I point my remote at it and look down a line of sight.  It's an Indigogo supported development.  I'm already backing the Atari VCS, so I think I'll wait till somebody here gets one and can report/review it better.

Bob from RetroRGB said there's talk about adding support in emulators for it (adding the requisite border the camera uses for tracking). I've been using a dolphin bar and wii mote for lightgun support, which sucks because of IR triangulation's inherent lag. This looks much more promising. I don't like loosing screen real estate for the border, but it's not that big a deal compared to the gains. But the $350 founders tax gives me pause.
