UPDATE!

I just tried plugging the gun into my Mac and right of the bat it just works as a wireless mouse on the screen, no tweaking or drivers required, played it with some emulators and they worked great, more accurate than the included console so it’s not all bad!

30 years ago the Saturn was released here in Europe, this is an old picture of mine which I got early 1996, sadly it fell victim to water damage and was destroyed a few years back 🥲
