The Dreamcast video game console had several light guns released as accessories during its lifespan. The official light gun from Sega was released in Europe and Asia; in the United States, it was previewed in magazines preceding the console's release,[1] but it ultimately never released due to concerns about bad press in the wake of the Columbine High School massacre.[2][3] Instead, an officially licensed light gun was released by Mad Catz for the U.S. market.[4]
Several Dreamcast games support light guns, as well as various homebrew titles. The light guns work with a CRT TV or a CRT VGA monitor in 640x480 mode.
