Yep, that's the perfect description of it. Was there ever a version that worked with either the Genius or AMX Mouse?
Not sure about mouse control but there was a version that worked with the lightgun (Magnum Light Phaser) that came with the +2 Action Pack. I've got it in my loft.

Bizarrely, there was a small corner shop in my town, around 1992, which sold the Magnum Light Phaser pack with those games. Yep, everything but the +2 of course, I think it cost me eight quid.

I don't think I bothered for more than half-an-hour with each game, and that includes Operation Wolf which I thought would at least be the best.

The light gun was, well, very very light in weight and felt too much like a toy. It wasn't all that accurate either.
