The game is pretty much a standard light gun game, with enemies appearing over a prerendered background. The introduction of secret rooms helps replay value, as does competing for a higher score with a partner.
Area 51 is a light gun arcade game released by Atari Games in 1995.
Through the game you will go from the Hangars of Area 51, into the Labs and then into the mountain cave for a final showdown. During the trip, you shoot at the aliens, with your Light Gun, shoot power-ups to collect them, and shoot inanimate objects (windows, barrels, etc) to get bonus points and open secret rooms.
getting guns to work properly for this mame game is stupid even after you have configured everything...off screen shooting does not work and trying to program a second button for reloading is a waste of time. Using aim-trak gun with it and have gave up with this game. Im narrowing it down to an issue with the rom itself.

@stussyboys you have to have the proper guns. I made my own out of duck hunt guns. you can use the guncon 2's but they are ridiculously expensive.
