Practical FAQ

Is the game's camera easier at controlling because it's first-person?

It may seem like FPS would help with simpler aiming, but because it's a 'tank-control' style first person, turning still feels sluggish and deliberate; movement is slower and can be disorienting at first, especially without twin-stick analog controls (later versions fixed that a bit). It's unique!

What happened with the light gun mode for this game?

Officially supported by Namco GunCon and similar light guns (via composite cable) on a true CRT TV's 'screen' sensing. Sadly, it is impossible to play in its original arcade-shooter style on modern TVs and can't be fully simulated on emulators, which greatly reduces the intended play style for the game outside its 'direct movement' mode many actually experienced.

Can I change ammo types easily?

The weapons and certain key armaments are auto-switched (and sometimes upgraded as part of key-story progress). No inventory reload or manual type swapping is available; instead, certain situations cause new gear to appear for more options.
