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. Shooting with the gun on the left side sets up the time. The gun on the right side sets up the alarm and turns it off.
