Action video games

This article aims to have a complete list of light gun games, including more modern games that use some kind of shooting peripheral technology that may not necessarily be "light gun" in nature (such as the devices being designed for the Wii and PlayStation 3), organized by the video game console or computer system that they were made available for. The games are organized aphabetically by the console's company and then subdivided by the respective company's consoles in a chronological fashion. Some arcade titles on this list have been ported to systems without light gun support. Although Revolution X featured light gun support in its original arcade version, the console versions did not.[1] Similarly, Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, and Space Gun appear on the Taito Legends compilation for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox without light gun support. Also, some games only had releases in Europe (EU), Japan (JP), and/or North America (NA), respectively.

Note: As light gun games are a popular genre, many developers have tried their hand at this style. While Wikipedia aims to be as comprehensive as possible in this list (as it always does,) its editors cannot claim that this list contains every single light gun game that has ever been created and released to arcades. The list does, however, attempt to contain every notable light gun game in existence, an aim which we feel it has achieved up to this point.

Noted that many FPS games and shooting games on Wii utilize the Wii Remote for aiming and shooting in the style of light gun games. Thus, this section will only include games that explicitly support Wii Zapper and/or rail shooter in nature. Party games that also have shooting sections are also included, but typically these do not have zapper support. Virtual Console NES Ports, such as Operation Wolf[10] have thus far not included any amount of light gun support.

The PlayStation has two main types of light guns, the GunCon/G-Con by Namco, the Konami Justifier. There were also other third-party and non-licensed light guns that were compatible with either: Justifier or GunCon games or both.
