Nintendo Zapper in slow motion

Only tangentially related to 6502, but it's such a clever design that I couldn't not share it.

Hm. I never had one of those but I always thought they worked like the old light pens and detected a dot being scanned over the screen. The black screen then white box is clever. Crude for accuracy, but obviously more than good enough for the game.
