Wizard of Wor

Wizard of Wor is easily my favorite Atari 2600 game. It's actually one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. It's a relatively simple concept where you are put in a puzzle and have to find your way around shooting monsters. And like most old school games, that relatively simple concept is actually quite hard. The music really sets the eerie mood which probably is why I love this game so much. The game is one or two player which makes adds the fun of dominating someone else. Would've been better if they added an online mode. (Oh...wait...the Internet wasn't really around at this time...hmm...maybe a newer version could be made? I really hope so.)

Wizard of Wor gets a Gamegasm and a Buy Now. Definitely pick this up if you can find a copy.

Gangster Town

So probably the most popular game that uses a light gun is Duck Hunt. Great game, but this post is about a very underrated and unknown Sega Master System game called Gangster Town. It's a side scrolling shooter where you take out gangsters in a variety of different settings. You can take a walk down on the docks or go and relax at a club all while taking down gangsters. You can also get bonus points by exterminating the rodent problem in the bar. This game adds a level of difficulty that Duck Hunt doesn't have, the gangsters shoot back at you. This means you better be on your game or it's game over. I think any game that uses the light gun is already pretty sweet, but this game is truly amazing.

The only negatives of the game that I can think of is it's lack of difficulty. I was dominating it after only about 3 or 4 plays. The bosses are also pretty easy as you can just unload as fast as you can on the boss ignoring all the other shooters.

I give this a Ok. Cool. and Buy Now.
