• Hands-on: G’AIM’E 30th Anniversary Time Crisis Light Gun Game Aiming for your nostalgia Get Tom’s Hardware’s best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox. • You are now subscribed Your newsletter sign-up was successful The G’AIM’E Time Crisis Lightgun is an homage to a golden era of gaming. • One of the most popular Arcade games of the 90s made a successful transition to the PlayStation 1 console, complete with a lightgun - and now the nostalgia is reborn with a new lightgun and teeny console that lets you play up to four classic lightgun arcade games on any modern television or monitor, using some funky AI screen recognition for accurate calibration. • The original Time Crisis game at both the arcade and on the original PlayStation are some of my fondest memories of gaming. • Fun solo or with friends, lightgun games haven’t hit the same highs since then. • For me, the celebration of 30 years of Time Crisis has brought back a massive wave of nostalgia - and I’m hoping for a resurgence in peripheral-based games (perhaps from franchises like Guitar Hero and Rockband).
