Time Crisis is bringing back the nostalgia with a new AI powered gun compatible with modern TVs. This kit from Achievement Electric will allow you to use light guns conveniently without needing to worry about acquiring an old CRT or tinkering with setups.

The AI Gun Con system comes pre-loaded with the original Time Crisis game, designed for all LCD monitors. The pricing starts at $89.99 for a basic unit and goes up to $119.99 for an arcade mode setup which includes a pedal controller.

Expect an official release date announcement soon as the Tokyo Game Show approaches shortly.

Would you want to know more about how AI is used in this device before buying?

So I've thought about this a bit more. Games like this flash the screen black with a white square on the target, and then detects whether the lightgun is pointing at white or black. I guess they could take a picture of the TV and combine that with sensor data, put it into an AI and then figure out where on the screen the gun is pointed at? I guess that would count as "AI"?

I'm sure the diehard lightgun fans won't find it accurate enough though.
