House Of The Dead 3

I have just bought this for the PC, and of course being really stupid forgot that the best way to play is with a light gun.

Does anyone know where I can get one for the PC? I know about PS2 and XBox etc, but I need one for the PC. The light gun seems to be lacking, maybe its because not many games are on the PC that need a light gun?

i'm pretty much sure it's due to the different scan times of monitors and stuff that they're thin on the ground but you should be able to puck one up somewhere

I have tried looking but its nigh impossible to find one anywhere, its like all companies have turned there backs to home computer users

There are a few for the PC but they aren't that fanastic, I've got one which I use on my Mame cabinet (which also has House of the Dead II installed).

Heres a short review I did of it on my old site, direct link to review

But from what i've read the Act Labs gun is meant to be the better PC gun

Pretty much the only good gun for PC's today. Works with CRTs and LCDs regardless of refresh rate or resolution.

Have you tried this gun?

Unfortunately not yet, but I do have one on order. There's a rather large thread on BYOAC about them though, and the consensus seems to be that they can sometimes be fiddly to setup but work beautifully once properly configured.
