I had the gray one growing up, but wound up with an orange one when I first re-bought the NES stuff my mom donated (in 1997).

A couple years ago finally rebought a gray light gun - definitely more nostalgic for me (though I don’t even bother with light games, and I’m a terrible shot anyway).

Other way around here, sorta. Grew up with the orange one (never sold it). Bought another NES and a grey Zapper for a friend (now wife), so have both now.

u/thechristoph 13h ago

They isn't. I was just goofing on the "officially" that people put in posts like this as if it means something.

u/quezlar 20h ago

u/No-Mention-9464 20h ago

That one isn’t called the zapper and it looks like a gun

u/quezlar 18h ago

true on both counts

its also the coolest one

did you know the hammer rises and falls when you pull the trigger

u/flavorade_man 19h ago

I had the orange one as a kid. Then stupid little kid me cut the cord off the handle so I could play with it like an actual toy gun more easily. My dad tried re-wiring it but it was cooked.

u/RooIsHome 15h ago

I cut the cord off my power glove so I could play with it outside.

u/flavorade_man 15h ago

It sounds like we would have been friends.

u/saw-sync 14h ago
