"From the very first seconds"
Gun in hand, you draw on waves of enemies bursting onto the screen, finger glued to the trigger: aiming true and reloading with a flick becomes second nature. Priority targets and civilians to spare add a delicious tension. A pioneer of light-gun shooting, snappy and readable, it remains an arcade blow-off of fearsome effectiveness.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Is Virtua Cop 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A pillar of Sega's arcade rail shooting, Virtua Cop 2 keeps on Dreamcast its light gun shooting, pop-up targets and three-zone aiming system that rewards precision. Compatible with the console's gun, it offered a real arcade-at-home feel at the time. The polygonal 3D has aged a lot and the experience is short, but the snappy pacing and the joy of clearing screens remain intact. A genre benchmark that light gun fans rediscover with delight.
