NES Zapper - in Popular Culture

In Popular Culture

In the 1989 animated series Captain N: The Game Master, the main character Kevin Keene uses the original gray NES Zapper as a weapon during his time in Videoland. The gun fires laser blasts which are used to destroy the enemies he encounters. It also had a freeze-ray option which fires off Tetris-shaped blocks of ice that encircle and trap foes inside a cube of ice.

Raul Panther of "The Protomen" usually has an NES Zapper in a belt holster while on stage.

    ... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.
