I had to hook up a second NES in my bedroom to rock the zapper games. It feels more authentic that way anyway.

There are 3 well 4 more Zapper compatable games. But only parts of the games require the gun.

All were made by Konomi

Track and Field (part 2 I think)
Lazer Invasion ( Made to promote Lazerscope)
Bayou Billy
Lone Ranger

I plan on a little article about them and a review of the Superscope.

I understand the Lone Ranger is actually a pretty decent RPG

I have a question, at some point you mention playing with two zappers simultaneously. I think You were wishing about it but I think it's actually possible with one or two games. Wiz mentioned Chiller but I never tried it...I wonder if there are any ... more fun games to try it with?

Also it's a damn shame Punisher wasn't Zapper.

I did have a lot of fun wandering around the first couple levels of this game until a brownout cut my progress I don't remember any zapper parts though but that would be awesome, incorporating Wild Gunman into an RPG as the 'wandering monster' encounters. BLOWS MY MIND

2 play simultainous zapper games: I think it's a myth but I do some more research.

Lone Ranger: I played lone ranger for only a few minutes and found that it was complex game. There is indeed "zapper" stages however, I didn't reach them either. This appears to be a quality game that probably diserves a review in it's own right.

B. Billy and Lazer Invasion, are good ones to own sealed

I can guarantee you that Chiller is 2-zapper compatible, Jim. Me and wiz beat the game last year playing simultaneously with two zappers. The question is, would it be possible for one guy to independently aim and control both guns by himself...

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...
