House of the Dead 1 is abandonware, so you can get it free legally on PC.

In any case, does anyone try to play 2 guns at the same time? I tried several times, it's cool but rather hard for me (what tends to happen is I just fire 1 gun at a time... Saves a bit on the reloading and aiming, as each gun covers half the screen).

Interesting concept -- you'd have to be quite coordinated to improve your scores that way though.

Well I picked up a Wii on Craigslist tonight and it included house of the dead 2 and 3, so I wanted to get peoples opinions on which "gun" they were using. Before I even bought a Wii I picked up one of Nintendo's Official Zappers because it included Link's Crossbow Training. The Wii I bought tonight had 2 Nyko Perfect Shots.

Any thoughts on best light gun shell for Wii?

Perfect Shots hands down. Its only two defects are it is alittle fat in the handle and that it uses a manual trigger (though all of the controllers have that second problem).

I have a friend who can absolutely dominate with two guns. It's really something to see.

when we play HOTD together, he's the sharp shooter, and I'm the machine gunner so to speak. It helps that my guns are microswitched, I'm sure most of you guys have seen the tutorial I wrote, but in case anyone with a saturn or PS1 missed it;

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.

yeah that article is just the introduction to the games we were playing for Together Retro that month. The Together Retro articles don't get updated, as they are just for that particular month.

We should really contemplate doing a Light Gun month next year.
