About
In Contra III: The Alien Wars, the Laser gun (L) fires a powerful, continuous piercing beam that cuts through multiple enemies. It also appears as a high-tech weapon option in the tactical game Syndicate, the first-person shooter Kileak: The DNA Imperative, and the light-gun shooter Dino Stalker. Additionally, it serves as a defensive tool in the platformer Daffy Duck in Hollywood and the action-adventure game Ghoul Patrol.
During the 16-bit era, the weapon became a staple of side-scrolling action. In Contra III The Alien Wars and its Contra III [Plastic Back] packaging variant, players acquire the weapon by shooting flying item capsules; its narrow firing line requires precise positioning but deals massive damage to bosses. For the 1993 adaptation of Alien 3, the weapon provides Ellen Ripley with a high-tech alternative to her standard ballistic arsenal, melting through Xenomorph armor.
