    Another thing shitty about maximum force is that no memory card support. So nothing saves. No high scores, nothing. They didn’t even include it in the options.

    I was super nostalgic for Project Horned Owl but I actually enjoy playing it with a controller. It's slower paced for sure. Point Blank games are fantastic and I agree on Elemental Gearbolt. Such a stylish game and like any Working Design games, manuals and cases/art are so well done. Great video fellas.

    Really enjoyed watching this! As a lover of light gun games, I own most of the games you ranked. My personal favourite is Time Crisis, was such an amazing game at home and at the arcades back in the day! I also love Area 51, remember playing that a lot at the arcades as well!

    Really good list 🤓I love how Elemental Gearbolt and Panzer Dragoon series are clearly heavily inspired by Naussica and the valley of the wind👌. I'm glad I picked up Elemental Gearbolt when it was half as much as it is now when covid hit. I really suggest picking up Point blank two 🎪it's my fav of the series that really takes SUCH skill and accuracy.🎯
    Hoping for Ninja Assault and Vampire Knight on your PS2 list😸

  • @B-Hathaway

    I’d stick Die Hard at the bottom because, if I remember correctly, only one game in the trilogy was a light game. The original was a third person shooter. The second one was the light gun game, and the third one was a driving game. Correct me if I’m wrong. It’s been over 20 years since I’ve played it.

    Light Gun games are so much fun, I didn't get too much into this style of game outside of Arcades, but they are just super fun. I have a few games on the PS3 that could work with the move controller for the gun accessories and even though the House of the Dead Remake Move support kinda was bleh, I still want to give it a chance as it just seems like the normal/genuine way to play them. Great video, and so many great games to hopefully come across and check out at some point in the future. Keep up all the incredible work, and looking forward to the next banger of a video you have in store for us. Cheers to you both, always a pleasure. #Roadto21k - On a side note the cover art for Elemental Gearbolt is phenomenal.

      NTSC-U/C PS2 players appear to have been (ahem) robbed of a Jesse James sequel supporting lightgun controller(s) compared to PAL region, IIRC, getting the sequel with lightgun support. 🤨
