Does it have a foot pedal?
On the RetroPistol, the "crouch" pedal is built right into the controller as a dedicated button. Press it to come out of cover and fire, release to duck back down. Exact same gameplay — just no pedal to trip over. It's all in your hand.

What Our Customers Have To Say
-
"Finally, a light gun that actually works"
Set it up on my 50" TV in under 20 minutes. The IR tracking is spot on and the trigger feels so satisfying. Haven't put it down since it arrived.
-
"My living room is now an arcade"
Pulled out Time Crisis on a Friday night and had the whole family taking turns. Two pistol mode is a game changer. This thing is built for a good time.
-
"Worth every penny"
Was on the fence about the bundle but so glad I went for it. 15,000 games is not a joke — there's titles on here I haven't seen since childhood. Absolutely worth it.

How does it connect — PC or TV?
How does it connect — PC or TV?
You'll need a Windows/Linux PC or Raspberry Pi to run it. Mount the sensors on your TV or projector, slot in the 1TB game card, and you're good to go. Keep in mind — this isn't a plug-and-play console, it requires a computer to operate.
Is it compatible with PS5, Xbox, or Steam Deck?
Is it compatible with PS5, Xbox, or Steam Deck?
No. Our gun only works with Windows, Linux and Android OS. While it works perfectly on Steam Deck (in Desktop Mode), it is not compatible with PS5 or Xbox as these consoles do not support the external lightgun drivers required for our system.
Will it work on a modern flatscreen or projector?
Will it work on a modern flatscreen or projector?
100% yes. Our IR-based tech leaves old CRT limitations behind — it's fully compatible with LED, OLED, 4K displays, and projectors up to 150 inches. Screen size is no issue.
How does the cover system work if there's no foot pedal?
How does the cover system work if there's no foot pedal?
Classic light-gun games like Time Crisis use a "cover" mechanic — you duck behind cover to reload and stay safe, then pop out to shoot. In the arcade, that was a foot pedal. On the RetroPistol, that pedal is built right into the controller as a dedicated button. Press it to come out of cover and fire, release to duck back down. Exact same gameplay — just no pedal to trip over. It's all in your hand.
Can two players go head-to-head?
Can two players go head-to-head?
Definitely. The system supports up to 4 players at once! — just choose the 2 Players Set and you'll get two independently functioning pistols that work simultaneously on the same screen.
