Nov 26, 1999 - glitter releases lightgun-enabled Half-Life mod, 'gl.tter's HL-GUN!-'
____________________________________________________________________________________
'gl.tter's HL-GUN!-', released today for download in version 1.0 under the >RIL_
banner (r-i-l.net), is the first ever single and multiplayer lightgun-enabled
First-Person-Shooter game.
Written specifically for the ACT LABS GS PC lightgun system, HL-GUN!- features
standard Half-Life gameplay with full GS lightgun/handheld support.
Single-player games can be played using the GS gun to aim/shoot and the handheld or
keyboard/mouse to perform all other actions.
More importantly, for the first time lightgun-enabled LAN or Internet servers are
also possible. Servers can be configured to allow lightgun players only, or a
mixture of lightgun and standard mouse keyboard players, an experiment that looks
set to create a lot of interest in the FPS community.
HL-GUN!- also includes a stylish, idiot-proof launcher frontend that allows easy
configuration of all the GS system's buttons.
Full details (including screenshots, glitter's notes about the mod's origin etc.)
are now on-line at the HL-GUN!- web site at http://gl.tter.org/hl_gun/.

glitter's other lightgun mod, 'gl.tter's Q2GUNFRENZY!' has also been updated
to version 1.0a to correct a conflict with the new HL-GUN!- release.
A full 1.0a download as well as a patch from 1.0 - 1.0a are now available from the
- glitterstream - site at http://gl.tter.org.
