| Name:
Zapper Light Gun |
| Company: Nintendo |
Easily considered the most
popular Nintendo accessory, the Zapper was an
include in most NES system bundles. In the more
recent redish-orange or older gray color and a
Duck Hunt/Clay Shooting game.
The Zapper is a light gun
controller that allows infra-red sensors from the
end of the gun to interact with the palette of
your TV screen thus providing moderately accurate
sight. I say moderately because I cannot count
the endless times that a duck or flying disc got
away due to a few sensoring quirks. I think all
of us, once in a while, stood in front of the TV
with the gun pressed up against the screen in
frustration.
Compatible gun games ranged from Hogan's
Alley, Freedom Force, Baby
Boomer, a wild west setting Gundraw,
and the infamous Chiller. A
