'''[[Light gun shooter video games|Light gun shooters]]''' use a [[game controller|control device]] for [[arcade game|arcade]] and [[video game console|video games]], or a pointing device for [[computer]]s. Early mechanical light gun games used small targets (usually moving) onto which a light-sensing tube was mounted; the player used a gun (usually a rifle) that emitted a beam of light when the trigger was pulled. If the beam struck the target, a "hit" was scored. Modern screen-based light guns work on the opposite principle—the sensor is built into the gun itself, and the on-screen target(s) emit light rather than the gun. Like [[rail shooter video games]], movement is typically limited in light-gun games.

Notable games of this category include the 1974 and 1984 versions of ''[[Wild Gunman]]'', ''[[Duck Hunt]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], the ''[[Virtua Cop]]'' series, ''[[Time Crisis]]'' series, ''[[House of the Dead]]'' series, and ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]'' & ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|Darkside Chronicles]]''.
