Tommy Gun fun in the sun: Gangster Town & Great Volleyball | Segaiden #046

The Light Phaser finally proves itself an invaluable companion to the Master System instead of simply a tool for maintaining parity with Nintendo's lineup thanks to Gangster Town, the most inventive light gun shooter we've seen so far on an 8-bit system. With a fun theme, imaginative scenarios, and tons of bonus details and mechanics, it sets a new standard for the genre. It's also unreasonably difficult unless you play in two-player mode, but, hey. That's Sega for you. There's also a volleyball game this week. I guess. Production notes: Why watch when you can read?
