at first EW and FW was only avail from Atari Club, after the contest ended it was available at stores like kmart and sears it might have been at tru
even when jewel grand bazaar used sell games.
WW basically became available after they canceled the contest

KV-32FV15 From the specs I saw, that one would work.

That's one of the very latest ones. Just make sure it's standard def. The newer HD capable models feature video processing and higher scan rates. That's the problem with the light guns. You need 1:1 scanning of the video signal. Most TV's made before 2002 or so, are gonna do that. Actually, there are a ton of them made later than that too, but it starts to get iffy.

Another way this is detailed is 480p or 480i.

The 480pi modes are standard definition modes, and are the ones where light guns will work. The problem with newer CRT sets is they take the 480ip signal, process it, then present it at a higher refresh and or resolution with a little computer processing the signal. All the timing for the light gun is lost that way.

p = progressive, like a computer monitor, i = interlaced like an older school TV.

KV 32FS100 - I think this one would work also. It's got 16:9 capability, which scrunches all the scanlines into a smaller vertical area. My TV is one older than this, and I'm not where I can read the model number, or I would. That feature is user selectable, and really rocks with progressive scan DVD, but can be ignored for gaming. The TV I have does not have this feature.
