Message-ID: Date: 25 Nov 89 22:19:09 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 19 ------- About a year ago I bought the Atari light gun, both for playing the light gun XEGS carts, and for tinkering around with. While the Atari gun is basically functional, it's not too accurate or sensitive...you have to be close to the tv for it to work at all well. This problem was mentioned here last year and someone posted a modification to the (Nintendo? Sega?) light gun to make it compatible with the Atari machines, and it was supposedly much more accurate than the Atari gun. Anyway, on to my question. The past 2 months I've seen ads for an Atari compatible light gun from Best (see the December Analog San Jose Computer ad). Has anyone used this light gun? Is it more accurate and sensitive than the Atari? -Ray
