I missed these when they were released. I had seen them at Wal-Mart, but decided to wait until they were clearance priced, but they disappeared from shelves before that happened in my area for some reason. Anyways, I found one on eBay recently.
Here's the retail packaging for those not familiar with it:
The games in it aren't the greatest, IMO.
Insides overview:
What is clearly a GOAC in the gun grip in the lower right of the pic. Middle right is the Menacer (which was a large bazooka looking thing orginally) reduced to a tiny board, connected via wires labeled with controller data signals. A small bit more details in the notes of the Flickr image.
GOAC closeup:
Slightly rounded to fit grip, but not very different from other GOAC boards by Radica.
Menacer board closeup:
It's neat that this a separate module, and connects to the controller port it seems. This could mean that you could hook this gun module to a game pad GOAC (modded with cart slot of course), or connect a gamepad to this GOAC.
I need to find out what other games support the Menacer, but I know T2: The Arcade Game for Genesis uses it, which would be awesome to mod this gun to be able to play.

Most interesting. How much did you pay for it? It looks like a fun thing to mess around with, although not necessarily play. lol

~$20. The games look awesomely fun, if a bit dated, on the box, but virtually all are slide show shooters.Tibia wrote:Most interesting. How much did you pay for it? It looks like a fun thing to mess around with, although not necessarily play. lol
