G'AIM'E Lightgun: Kickstarter Success Brings Time Crisis Home
A new Kickstarter sensation, the G'AIM'E Lightgun, is set to transform the home gaming landscape for retro enthusiasts, particularly fans of classic arcade shooters like Time Crisis. The device, which surpassed its Kickstarter goal in a mere ten minutes, promises to deliver accurate lightgun gameplay on a wide range of screen sizes, from 15 to 150 inches. This technological leap is attributed to an advanced Micro Processing Unit (MPU) embedded within the lightgun, trained on tens of thousands of screen images to ensure precise targeting after a simple calibration process. The G'AIM'E Lightgun is slated for release just before Christmas, with pricing starting at $99 for the basic edition and $199 for an ultimate edition that includes two lightguns. This timing coincides with the 30th anniversary of the iconic arcade game Time Crisis, which is included with the G'AIM'E system, allowing players to relive their arcade memories from the comfort of their homes. A representative from Tom's Guide, demonstrating the product, expressed enthusiasm, stating, "Whenever I went to the arcade with my mates, I would always go on to Time Crisis. And now, I can do that at home with the G'AIM'E." This innovation marks a significant advancement over previous lightgun technologies, offering screen-agnostic compatibility that was previously a major hurdle for home arcade setups.
