What have you been playing and hows it going? Anything got you stuck? What high score are you going for? is this the first, second, (n+1) play-through?

I’ve been slowly getting through Shadow Run for Genesis when i have free time. thanks to some feedback from this community i restarted the game but I’m on a lot better footing. still on my first play-through. Sadly my free time has come to a halt as my child is going through a sleep regression. Looking forward to getting back into it soon.

Hope everything is well!

I’ve been playing Policenauts for the SEGA Saturn lately. I have enjoyed the story so far, my only complaint is that I don’t have a lightgun to play the game with, so the shooting sections are not as fun. I haven’t got too far into the game, but it is such an enjoyable story. Truly unfortunate that it never released outside of Japan.

Also going back through Dino Crisis, thats such a classic that gets slept on. Hopefully with it sweeping Capcom’s recent survey they will finally do something with it again.

Policenauts is on my list for sure, but didn’t know you could play without a light gun. do light guns work on modern tvs or is there a way to emulate the functionality?

Yeah, you can play with a regular controller, 3D controller, or even the Saturn mouse apparently. But obviously it is more fun with a lightgun, at least for the shooting parts. The regular visual novel parts aren’t too great with a gun though.

Lightguns do not work on any TV that isn’t using CRT technology due to the way they are designed. You can emulate them thankfully with IR sensors, such as in a Wii remote. You can also buy lightguns custom made, or make one yourself with online diagrams. Sinden and Gun4IR are the two most popular, but there is another one that has a strange German name I am drawing a blank on that uses Wii remotes as well.
