Vs. Hogan’s Alley

Hogan’s Alley is a 1984 video game by Nintendo. It was one of the first games to use a light gun as an input device. The game presents players with “cardboard cut-outs” of gangsters and innocent civilians. The player must shoot the gangs and spare the innocent people. The game is available on the Nintendo Entertainment System and as a Nintendo VS. System Game Pak, which was installed into VS. System Arcade cabinets, both upright and the “Red Tent” Cocktail. The controls consist of a single light gun. This was a rather novel input device for a game of its time and added to its appeal.
