P99 Light Blaster Gun: BlackP99 Light Blaster Gun: Black
Buy used from: £9.20
Fun comes in small packages, or in this case - a gun. This is the light gun i have, but if you'd prefer a gun with more buttons for a wider range of games then look no further than a G-Con 2.

You'll need a game of course, and this could be the choise you want to make. Up to 16 players if your friends have PS2's too. Crazy, light-hearted, this could well be what you want.

This is bed-wetting material, but strangly addictive. Think of it as resident evil meets Pokemon Snap. I won't list anymore games, or I'll get carried away. Honest.
