Lists

This is a list of light-gun games, video games that use a non-fixed gun controller, organized by the arcade, video game console or home computer system that they were made available for. Ports of light-gun games which do not support a light gun (e.g. the Sega Saturn version of Corpse Killer) are not included in this list. Arcade games are organized alphabetically, while home video games are organized alphabetically by the system's company and then subdivided by the respective company's systems in a chronological fashion.

The Wii is unique in that its standard controller can be used as a gun controller. Though a number of Wii games do not support these capabilities, those which do form an exhaustively long list of games, many of which have no resemblance to traditional light-gun games. Thus, this section will only include games that either explicitly support the Wii Zapper or are rail shooters in nature. Virtual Console ports, such as Operation Wolf,[18] did not include any amount of light gun support.
