The Master System’s version of the NES’s “Zapper” light gun was the Light Phaser, and was of higher quality. Modeled after the Zillion gun from the Japanese anime series, the Light Phaser looked so realistic that parents pressured Sega to alter it so that police wouldn’t think their children were running around with a real firearm. The gun is hard- wired to a nicely designed travel alarm clock from Casio. Tilt the gun and fire the clock to set up the time and the alarm.
