GunCon

The GunCon[a], known as the G-Con in Europe, is a family of gun peripherals designed by Namco for the PlayStation consoles.

Prior to the GunCon, the Konami Justifier (sold as the Hyper Blaster in Europe and Japan) was the first light gun peripheral for the PlayStation and a few games support it.

With the exception of Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas, Elemental Gearbolt, Maximum Force, and Mighty Hits Special, games that support the Justifier are not compatible with the GunCon and vice versa.

[9] The GunCon controller (known as G-Con 45 in Europe) uses the cathode ray timing method to determine where the barrel is aimed at on the screen when the trigger is pulled.

The controller is released in black in Japan, and gray (and eventually, in orange) in both Europe and North America.

These new buttons served to open new gameplay opportunities, such as character movement in Dino Stalker or the ability to use two guns at once in Time Crisis II.

The analog sticks allow the player to play first-person shooting games with manual aiming/firing of the light gun.

[14] Electronic Gaming Monthly's four-person "review crew" gave the original GunCon scores of 7.5, 7.0, 8.0, and 7.5 out of 10.
