I want to buy a shooting watch!

Not the capsule one, but a 2008 reproduction.  I can't find one anywhere so please sell me one :D

Ha! Yeah, me too.

This old thread on Hudson's Shooting Watch for iOS (and other web-based iOS games Hudson shoved Bonk into) might be amusing to you.

Read it whilst you wait for someone to locate a shooting watch for you .

They also make it for DSi, which, while not as good as the real deal, is going to be a lot better than banging on a non-moving iPhone screen.

I remember trying to inch my way up the leaderboard in the iOS version...it was impossible for me to even touch the top 100 (200?) scores. I don't know how folks did it, touch screen or not. It was uncanny.

I can imagine a lot of iPhones dying that way!

Incidentally, I was playing Samurai Kirby yesterday, and found it very hard to get below a 9 (reaction times lol), so I tested online and my response time shows as being lower than average!  Then I played my ex at Kirby, and she kicked my ass.  She even managed to get a 00 time!

I can only hope button speed and timing (already proven with megaton punch) will validate my self worth.

A theory: They put their hands on the window of a washing machine at full speed and then place the iPhone/Pod so the finger juuuust reaches it.

Seriously. I was imagining some scores were 100% legit and some scores were generated by slices of salami strapped to a power sander.

Well I got one, but I'm finding it really hard!  I can only get 78 so far :/  and it doesn't seem to matter if I use one finger or two, that's all I can do!

You can do it. You can break 100.

I've broken 100 now :)  It has two other things marked ?  That you can unlock, one of them is a bit like a random number generator, the other one is still locked.  I imagine you have to get a certain score to unlock them.

Congrats. Yes, to unlock more stuff, you have to perform certain feats.

I've had this alarm for years: http://gaygamer.net/images/famicom-controller-alarm-clock.jpg

It has a built-in mini game thats the exact same thing as on these other "Shooting Watches" (Except they never labeled it that; I never knew that it actually had a "name"). When you get a score above like 125 or something, it unlocks a second alarm sound. Pretty cool. :)
Plus, the start and select buttons are rubber like a real Famicom.

If anyone is interested in a shooting watch, I think this would be a pretty cool choice if you can still buy this model somewhere (I got mine from ThinkGeek.com but apparently they don't have them anymore). Just my two cents.
