Arcade shooting games are interactive machines that use responsive light guns as both tethered and mounted controllers to simulate first-person shooter (FPS) or on-rail gameplay. Players use these guns to aim and shoot at targets displayed on a screen, often in a simulated environment such as a battlefield, zombie apocalypse, or western shootout. These games typically feature high-energy, fast-paced action where accuracy, timing, and reflexes are key to progressing through levels or completing missions.

Arcade shooting games have been a staple in entertainment venues since the 1980s, and their popularity has only grown over the years. They became an instant hit because of their immersive gameplay, realistic gun controllers, and adrenaline-filled action. Over time, as technology has advanced, these games evolved from simple 2D target games to full 3D experiences with intricate storylines and enhanced graphics. Alongside the rise of home console FPS games like Call of Duty and Halo further fuelled their appeal, as players became familiar with the gameplay style at arcades and sought similar experiences at home. The latest arcade shooters combine this adored gameplay with ticket redemption in authentic cabinets that can be played and enjoyed in teams of two, four or even more!

Arcade shooting games can be found in most popular amusement arcades in the UK. This could be classic games such as Time Crisis or Lethal Enforcers or modern machines such as Halo Fireteam Raven and AMC's The Walking Dead.
