Unlike competing light guns of the era, the GunCon became the gold standard for home arcade shooters due to its high precision, ergonomic design modeled after a modern pistol, and innovative technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupported Games\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GunCon was built to support Namco’s premier arcade hits.
