A 2D first-person shooter, similar to Operation Wolf, which was supposed to be a good stress reliever—provided you owned an optical gun (or maybe even two). Using a ball mouse, you were guaranteed a full-on meltdown!
I discovered there were plenty of games like this on the Amiga (some of them by amateurs), though I’m not sure how many were compatible with the gun. My little selection: Bloody Afternoon, Cabal, Capone, Crazy Shot, Operation Thunderbolt (and its parody Operation Lemming), Safari Guns, Sideshow, Space Gun, Terminator 2: The Arcade Game and Zombie Apocalypse (1 and 2).
