Wow! I didn't even know there was a rifle lightgun available for this system. Or did I? I must have seen one at some point. It sounds like a MUCH higher quality unit than the typical one.
The light gun was optional. It's actually almost as expensive as the system itself if you try to acquire one today. The original brown box prototype featured it. It's higher quality only in regards to aesthetics...

It's still the same Odyssey. ;-) No sound capability whatsoever, no scorekeeping capability, limited abilities period.

I've probably put more quarters (or, rather, dollars) into these machines than any other.
I'm a big fan of light gun games and have acquired quite a few guns and games for various systems. I've never had a chance to try Big Buck Hunter Pro myself, though. That home system looks tremendous, though for five grand, it seems rather much for just the single game.
