"You know you're a zapper fanatic when..."

One of the innovative creations for the NES, the zapper gun or light gun was a controller that was designed for specific games. Games such as Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Operation Wolf, Adventures of Bayou Billy, and plenty more used the zapper in one way or another. The zapper was a simple device that when the trigger was pressed, a light signal would be sent out that would touch the TV screen. So in a sense, this light beam was like a bullet hitting a target. The creation worked very well and was the main reason that games like Duck Hunt are classics in the eyes of many gamers. Seeing that this controller was such a great invention, I decided I'm going to design a little fanclub after it. Please note, if you are addicted to the zapper gun, you'll most likely find yourself doing these things in your spare time.
