About This Retro Game
Originally developed as a laser clay shooting system for arcades before being adapted for NES. Featured three game modes: single duck, two ducks, and clay pigeon shooting with increasing difficulty.
Used CRT television scanning technology to detect Zapper shots - hitting targets required precise timing as the screen flashed white when firing. The dog's mocking laughter at missed shots became culturally infamous.
Packaged with the NES Action Set alongside Super Mario Bros. Sold over 28 million copies, making it the 5th best-selling NES game. The Zapper's orange color was changed to gray in 1989 due to US toy gun regulations.
