James Bradford mentions: 
"On the 400, the light gun /pen will only work in joystick port 4."  
This renders much light gun and light pen software unusable on the 400. 
 
Andreas Koch adds: 
All Lightgun games can be used with a lightpen (which is not as accurate
as a Lightgun however). And all lightpen programs can be used with a
lightgun. thus add:

- Atari Graphics cart. by Atari
  (a painting/drawing program);
- Lightpen Doodle by ??? from Antic magazine;
- Hardware-tester by Florian Dingler (tests the following hardware:
  joysticks, paddles, koala pad, touch tablet, lightpen, lightgun,
  multijoy8, video touch pad / kids controller, driving/steering wheel, 
  atari trackball, numeric keypad cx85 and maybe some more devices)
- some more PD programs and utilities for Lightpen or Lightgun;
