I watched a Time Crisis 2 stream the other day and it got me thinking...what's the best way to play these games? On one hand, using a CRT is messy in that you would need to hook up several consoles (Dreamcast, PS2) and you might miss some games but on the other, finding an appropiate screen for the PC is difficult.
How have you done it? Thoughts?

We have an old big screen upstairs that I've used a time or two for some Dino Stalker, Time Crisis 2/3/Crisis Zone, Silent Scope, and etc on the PS2. Don't really mess with them to often though.

I have an CRT so I can play duck hunt and the Virtual Cops when I feel like playing it the right way, but like pulsar said: wiimote and Glovepie works for me.

I keep a big ol' CRT just for this and all those amazing PS1/PS2 light gun shooters. Its worth it IMHO.

Halloween coming up again for my annual House Dead Dreamcast, Lightgun and CRT setup in the back of the SUV while passing out candy. 

The DC version Lightguns can be set to autoreload autofire and also works on a VGA CRT monitor.

I've still got my CRT TV from college in my bedroom and that's where the NES is hooked up for Duck Hunt. I never got any other light gun games growing up so I don't really have any fond memories that want me to get light gun games on newer consoles.

Re: Do you have a light-gun set-up?
Currently, I don't have any setup, I just don't have the additional room. I wanted a CRT plus an HDTV for reasons like this, but it just wasn't possible.
If I ever get the hankering, I could pull out a Phillips 27" set, though.
And I have been having a hankering to play my copy of Time Crisis.
CRTGAMER, that is absolutely fabulous. I would love to do something like that here, but people would lose their minds.
