As a young adult male, I've noticed that my friends have a big knack for insulting/praising celebrities as they appear on TV. "I hate her!" Bang! With a finger gun..

well, how bout combining a light gun game with TV? Shoot celebrities for points. 2 or more players. Reload by shooting off-screen. Location based damage (headshots, groin shots) score more points. Bigger bank accounts, more game points. Britney Spears, beaucoup bucks!

Action shows with enemies running everywhere could be interactive games unto themselves. Fast moving targets. Kill as many ninjas or space ships as you can!

       Connect the gun to a Nielson Meter, celebs could see where they stand.

       The was an American live action adventure series that had animated characters that allowed you to shoot at the telly. They sold guns that recognised the bad guys and counted the times that you shot them. Apparently you could be shot as well by the TV.   

       I was told about this at the '97 World Science Fiction Con when the creators came to talk about it.

       damn, same idea ;(   

       Aristotle, yup I think i played that. But i mostly played the VHS tapes, and not the show itself, as the show itself didn't have enough action. Whereas the tapes were action packed! hehehe
