NES Zapper

The NES Zapper.

The NES Zapper (known as the Beam Gun in Japan) is a peripheral device for the NES.

How It Worked

The NES Zapper worked by blanking the screen with nothing but pixels of either black or white. The screen shows this as a quick flash of light (lasting less than a second), in which a camera in the Zapper records the pixel value it is facing on the screen.

The zapper then sends the information to the System through the attached cord.
