More then just a piece of plastic

I wasnt so sure about the Zapper to begin with so I didnt pick one up right away. But its a Nintendo peripheral and it comes with a Zelda game so it was inevitable that I would buy one sooner or later. The other day I broke down and got one. I first tried it out with Ghost Squad, a light gun shooter from Sega.

It worked surprisingly well. In Ghost Squad you can calibrate the gun and then turn off the pointer so that it plays like a real light gun game. This setup worked really well, its almost like having the Arcade game at home.
