Never got to own a Nes myself, but one of my distant pals had one. I remember how he had to blow on the cartridges before playing a game, else there would be all kinds of strange graphical corruption.

Jade, you got a free Zapper?! Lucky girl. I got to play with a Zapper once and it was quite fun. I recall wondering how the Zapper worked back then; I thought it was something really sophisticated – now I know it’s just a light sensor with a button. Even so, I’m still amazed that it worked so well.

Cheers.
