Namco’s Time Crisis is one of the most iconic light gun games of all time, but its home port has sadly been trapped in the past, restricted by the fact that the PS1 G-Con controller needs a CRT TV to run properly.
There are workarounds available – such as the excellent Sinden Light Gun – but for most people, this classic has remained frustratingly unobtainable for years.
It looks like that’s all about to change, however, as Dashine Electronics has announced G’AIM’E, a plug-and-play device that comes pre-loaded with Time Crisis and utilises an “AI-powered” light gun that is compatible with modern-day flatscreen televisions. It’s going to be demonstrating it at TGS 2024.
According to Game Watch, the AI element allows the gun to operate without having to make any adjustments “regardless of the size or distance of the TV screen.” It is also billed as being compatible with “all LCD monitors.”
We’ve also got pricing for this thing; it’s going to cost $89.99 for the base edition (the main unit and gun controller) and $119.99 for the deluxe version that includes a pedal controller and bonus items.
There’s no release date as yet.
