How Did the Duck Hunt Gun Work?
That actually was better than I thought ... I had to double-check on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_gun#Sequential_targets) but I didn't know about the sequential-targets approach.I guess that's because my first exposure to light gun tech was with Commodore hardware, that had already taken the leap to cathode ray timing. Nice to know.The decline of lightgun tech with the introduction of flat-screen TV:s is something that sometimes makes me sad. The replacement "passive/dead-reckoning" techniques just don't feel as satisfying, or elegant.On the other hand, keeping a tube TV around just to play Time Crisis is hard to motivate, too. :)
