The Game Gun is the only light gun
released for the Panasonic / Goldstar 3DO
video game console
. It was released in 1994 by American Laser Games
, makers of full motion video shooter games. The Game Gun is almost exactly the same as the Peacekeeper Revolver
, except with a notable color difference. The peripheral came in two versions: one player and two-player. The only difference between the two is that the two-player version came with a y-connector, allowing two players with two light gun
s to play simultaneously. Without the y-connector, the second player would have to use a game controller.
Although the back of the Gamegun box gives the impression that the only light gun compatible games for the system were released by American Laser games and utilized the same full motion video approach, one notable exception to that was Demolition Man
, based on the Stallone/Snipes film
and made for the 3DO by Virgin Interactive
