Virtua Cop (Sega Saturn) (11.24.95)
The first 3D light gun shooter, Sega's Virtua Cop, quickly became one of my favorites. The constant zooming and maneuvering of the camera had a way of upping the tension and reducing the monotony of the single button controls. Translation note: I reviewed footage of the Japanese version and Googled "バーチャコップ ドーベルマン" but couldn't find any more references to the "Doberman" (Is it the good guy? The bad guy?) described on the back of the package.
