Genesis/Sega CD/32X
American Laser Games GAMEGUN
The American Laser Games GAMEGUN is known for its 3DO version, but it was also released for the Sega CD. Unlike the 3DO's, there's only one version of the Sega CD GAMEGUN and it's almost identical to the 3DO version. It isn't interchangeable with the 3DO version, each system will require its own specific GAMEGUN model.
The FMV compatible games become more enjoyable and easy to play using light guns. This one is certainly a good option to avoid the Menacer light gun for playing Corpse Killer (which is not compatible with the Konami Justifier).
A list of compatible games is presented at the bottom of this page.

Konami Justifier
The Konami Justifier, also released for the Super Nintendo, is better known for its compatibility with the classic Konami Lethal Enforcers games and being part of the games violence controversy in the early '90s.
It's also compatible with the Sega CD's version of Snatcher. It works flawlessly with the game and contributes for a deeper gameplay.
The Justifier versions for Sega and Nintendo's consoles were based on the replica revolvers used in the original arcade version of Lethal Enforcers. The blue Justifier gun connects directly to the console. Optionally, a pink Justifier (which, in USA, was available only by mail order from Konami and is very hard to find today) can be daisy chained into the blue gun rather for use by a second player.
Together, blue and pink guns provide a pleasant gameplay with Lethal Enforcers games, especially the Sega CD version of Lethal Enforcers II with its exclusive violent code enable (not present in the Genesis version) for blood.
The Justifier was also released for the Playstation to use with several Konami games on the system and also a compilation containing Lethal Enforcers and Lethal Enforcers II in the same disc (with all the violence from the arcade version). However, the gun was redesigned, looking more like a toy than a revolver replica (the original one).
Despite the popular belief, the Justifier for Sega systems is not only compatible with Konami games but also with all American Laser Games released for the Sega CD...

Multitap Support (Sega Tap/Team Player/Multiplayer, Electronic Arts 4 Way Play, Performance Super Multi-Play)
The Sega Mouse was released in 1993 in order to provide support for games that are easier to play with this type of controller, like point-and-click adventure games.
It was released in Japan and Europe using an identical shape model, only differing by the colors of the buttons (blue in the JP version and red in the EU's). This model has two buttons and a clickable trackball (which can be used with the mouse flipped down).
The US version looks totally different, has a third action button (replacing the click function of the trackball in the JP/EU model), a start button and dropped the clickable trackball; it looks more like a conventional PC mouse than the other models.
