lightgun
Aim at TV
A lightgun is a pointing device shaped like a pistol or rifle, used with video games and arcade machines.
The player aims at the screen and pulls the trigger to shoot targets.
Lightguns work by detecting light from the display, a technology that functions poorly or not at all on modern flat screens.
Classic lightgun games include Duck Hunt and Time Crisis.
