Hello.
Back when the Sega CD was still in stores, they always wanted too much for the Pink gun (25$ even at Funco).
Eventually I realized I might as well get one because eventually I'll never find one again (I think the offer from my Lethal Enforcers box expired long ago). I searched Funcos for years but never found one. Until one day a year ago I stumbled into a Funco by my grandma's house and saw it and picked it up for 15$.
The thought of playing Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2 with a gun in each hand, double barrel, made me giddy. But I was quickly dissappointed...
From a distance of about 3-4 feet from a 27in TV, the pink gun would only register shots to about 75 % of the screen (about 1-3 inches on the border would register as reload instead of a shot). this is sufficient to not be able to shoot a lot of the baddies. When I move back to a more reasonable distance (6-8 feet), I can only shoot about 30% of the screen (only a small rectangle/oval in the middle registers shots).
I've tried every possible permutation of the TV color/brightness/constrast controls, but only minor improvements were attained.
Does anyone know if this is a problem with all pink guns, or is mine just worn out/defective? The blue gun still works perfect, so I wouldn't think it was the game or TV. Though the pink gun has about twice as much range on Lethal Enforcers 2 as it does on Lethal Enforcers 1. So LE2 is still playable, but LE1 is pretty much unplayable.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know if a way to fix the pink gun?
(My LE1 and LE2 are for the Sega CD, not the genesis versions.
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know if there's a way to get the lightgun to work when you run the TV-signal through your RGB computer monitor? (ie, using a TV app)
Thanks!
Ash.
