About Who Shot Johnny Rock?
Another live-actor arcade shooter by American Laser Games (makers of Mad Dog McCree and Crime Patrol), Who Shot Johnny Rock is set in the classic 1920's style gangster era. As the title suggests, you're supposed to find out who shot singer Johnny Rock (or at least who hired the guys who shot him) and put them behind bars. There are some differences between this game and previous American Laser Games shooters. Instead of a wimpy pistol, you get a tommy gun (which doesn't need to be reloaded). Unfortunately, you also have limited ammo and need to buy more at times. Instead of lives you have a fixed supply of money, and each time you die you lose some cash. Lose it all and it's game over.

A 1930s gangster light-gun shooter whose video, GamePro felt, looks better on the 3DO than here.
This is the Sega CD version of American Laser Games' shooter, published in North America in 1994. It supports the Konami Justifier light gun. GamePro, reviewing the 3DO version in October 1994, said the video footage really jumps out there, unlike on the Sega CD.

Arcade · MS-DOS · CD-i · 3DO · DVD · Windows
Before you buy
It came out only in North America, so a US disc is what you want, and loose copies sit about the middle among North American releases. If you plan to play it as intended you will need a Konami Justifier, which the game supports; check that the printed label and case title match.
