Play Vs. Hogan's Alley Online
Pixelated gangsters pop up between innocent bystanders—you squeeze off shots fast, praying you don’t hear that "DON’T SHOOT!" voice again. Your arm’s sore by stage three, but you keep going anyway.
Vs. Hogan's Alley came out in arcades in 1984, developed by Nintendo R&D1. It was part of that wave of light gun games that pulled you in with simple, physical action, a step away from the joystick and button routines of the time.
You control a crosshair on screen, aiming a light gun at cardboard cutouts of gangsters that pop up from windows and alleys. Your goal is to shoot the criminals while sparing civilians and police officers. The game uses a three lane layout, with targets appearing from different depths, and you must quickly distinguish friend from foe based on their silhouettes and sometimes their movement. The pacing is relentless; targets appear and vanish in seconds, and mistakes are punished with loud audio warnings and score penalties. It feels like a test of both your reflexes and your judgment under pressure.
