List of light-gun games


This is a list of light-gun games, video games that use a non-fixed gun controller, organized by the arcade, video game console or home computer system that they were made available for. Ports of light-gun games which do not support a light gun are not included in this list. Arcade games are organized alphabetically, while home video games are organized alphabetically by the system's company and then subdivided by the respective company's systems in a chronological fashion.

Some Sega Chihiro titles are installable on a modified Xbox, as the two share nearly identical hardware. So far, only Virtua Cop 3 supports light-gun controllers via this installation method.

[Xbox 360]

The Xbox 360 supports the Top-Shot Elite by Red Octane, the Top Shot Fearmaster, and the Top Shot Sport, as well as motion controls through the Kinect as light gun peripherals.

;non-traditional light-gun games
The Xbox 360 port of Attack of the Movies 3D uniquely has built-in support for mounted-light-gun controllers with how it calculates position rather than velocity from joystick inputs. This feature was never fully realized however as no light-gun peripheral was ever released for the platform that mimicked joystick inputs this way.

[Xbox One]

The Xbox One supports the Mars Lightcon by PDP and Microsoft's Kinect motion tracking sensor as light-gun peripherals.

Nintendo

[Nintendo Entertainment System]

[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]

The SNES supports the use of two different light-gun controllers, Nintendo's Super Scope wireless light-gun, and Konami's Justifier wired light-gun. All games listed support the Super Scope with the exception of Lethal Enforcers, which can only be played using the Konami Justifier.Battle ClashBazooka BlitzkriegThe Hunt for Red October Lamborghini American Challenge Lethal Enforcers

[Wii]

The Wii is unique in that its standard controller can be used as a gun controller. Though a number of Wii games do not support these capabilities, those which do form an exhaustively long list of games, many of which have no resemblance to traditional light-gun games. Thus, this section will only include games that either explicitly support the Wii Zapper or are rail shooters in nature. Virtual Console ports, such as Operation Wolf, did not include any amount of light gun support.
No unique light-gun peripheral is required to play any Wii light-gun or light-gun adjacent game. All titles will work with the standard Wii remote or Wii remote and nunchuck controllers. Licensed and unlicensed light-gun cradle attachments are also compatible with these controllers if needed.
