Requested by @chris70c. A list of gun games for the Amiga can be found here.

If anybody knows about simple test programs such as light pen drivers, calibration tools, etc., please let me know. It's much easier to start with such programs than starting with games.

There's this thing with source included on Aminet. It does something, but I've never used the lightpen emulation in WinUAE (or IRL for that matter), so I can't say if it's working as expected.

Do you have a lightpen for testing? Looks like C64 ones are compatible judging by http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/DE-9_Lightpen In principle it shouldn't be hard get some code working according to HRM, but I couldn't get a small test program I just tried (in WinUAE) to play ball.

No, I don't. I agree that having one is a good idea, just to see what the expected outcome would be. Unfortunately, they won't work with TFTs.

I didn't find any option to enable light pen emulation in UAE. Anyways, I think it's not worth spending time on it. The value-to-effort ratio is too low.
