The Atari XG-1 light gun is a video game controller which was released in 1987. Atari's only light gun, it is compatible with the Atari 8-bit computers, Atari 7800, and Atari 2600. It was bundled with the Atari XEGS Deluxe home computer and video game console combination system,[1] and with the light gun game Bug Hunt for the 7800 as model XES2001 for US$34.95 (equivalent to about $90 in 2023).[2] Atari eventually released five light gun games on the 7800 (Alien Brigade, Barnyard Blaster, Crossbow, Meltdown, and Sentinel) and one on the 2600 (Sentinel).
