Subject: 8.5) What programs use a light pen or a light gun?
Contributors to this section: Bertrand M. (LEXX), Andreas Koch
While the user experiences are quite different, the Atari computer reads the horizontal and vertical positions of a light pen or a light gun in the same way. Consequently, while software programs are usually designed for either
one or the other, these two types of controllers can sometimes substitute for each other.
A light pen or light gun requires a cathode ray tube (CRT) television or monitor. Only one light pen or light gun may be used on the Atari at a time.
Also, on the 400, Controller Jacks 1-3 do not support a light pen / light gun, only controller port 4 can be used. This effectively makes many light pen / light gun programs incompatible with the 400.
