The Nintendo Zapper Light gun was born back in 1985 in the US and was part of the successful Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Early Zappers were gray, but later the color was changed to a neon orange, due to the fact that many likened the device too much to an actual gun. The Zapper is used on supported NES games such as Duck Hunt and Wild Gunman. To hit targets on the screen, players point the device by lining up the front and rear sights with the desired target and pulling the trigger. The Zapper could also be used on the title screens of games to move the cursor—done by pointing the device away from the screen and pulling the trigger—or starting the game (pointing at the screen and pulling the trigger)
