TCW Podcast Episode 075 - Gunning for Light   We look at how shooting peripherals entered the gaming scene.  We start with their introduction in arcades, and move all the way up to today.  We see the technology change, and how different applications were applied to get interesting effects.  With the height of light guns in the 80's and 90's, and their decline in the 2000's, light guns are only seen in the few remaining arcade and fun centers still in operation.  In the home they really say their popularity in the 8-bit and to a lesser extent the 16-bit era.    ABT Target Skill Model F: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm1qSL4g4eg Shoot the Bear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41HA_L5sGGo Coon Hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmTDlmULZt0 Keeney Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun Restore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odqi1iXnh84 Keeney Air Raider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=senG1HmruAo Whoopi Goldberg on racial/ethnic stereotypes in old cartoons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCT1clqci3I Dale model Gun Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C1DN24sfCY Magnavox Odyssey Light Gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At6H6SIfWTc Sega Balloon gun Cabinet Picture: http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/ballgun.htm Qwak Pictures: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9216 Very brief shot of Qwak in Dawn of the Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UVzepqkmts How Light Pens and NES Zapper Worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu-Hoj4EIjU Crossbow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtsuSH9jylw EXPLICIT WARNING!
