Editing NES Zapper (section)

==Gameplay==
The Zapper can be pointed at a television set to interact with on-screen targets in games that support it. Games and game modes that support the Zapper are primarily [[shooting gallery game]]s, although the sidescrolling [[platformers]] ''[[Gumshoe (video game)|Gumshoe]]'' and ''[[Baby Boomer (video game)|Baby Boomer]]'' also support it.<ref name="paste"/> In some games, it can be used on the title screen to select a mode and start the game.<ref>{{citation |quote=Point the Zapper away from the screen and shoot. The arrow will move from one game to another. When the arrow points to the game you want, shoot directly at the screen. The game will start. |title=Zapper Manual |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |year=1985 |id=US-2}}</ref> Some games require the Zapper to be played (such as ''[[Duck Hunt]]'',<ref>{{cite book |title=Duck Hunt Instruction Booklet |publisher=Nintendo |year=1985 |page=2 |url=http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/nes/Duck%20Hunt.pdf |access-date=February 19, 2019 |quote=This game requires the Zapper™, Light Gun Attachment. |archive-date=March 3, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190303120546/http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/nes/Duck%20Hunt.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> ''[[To the Earth]]'',<ref name="paste">{{cite web |last1=Martin |first1=Garrett |title=Ranking Every NES Zapper Game |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/nintendo/best-nes-zapper-games |website=Paste |access-date=February 19, 2019 |date=August 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421050241/https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/best-nes-zapper-games/ |archive-date=April 21, 2021}}</ref> and ''[[Shooting Range (video game)|Shooting Range]]''<ref>{{cite book |title=Shooting Range Instruction Booklet |publisher=Bandai |url=https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/Manual/formated/Shooting_Range_-_1989_-_Bandai.pdf |access-date=February 19, 2019 |quote=This game requires the Zapper™ Light Gun Attachment. |archive-date=February 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220062937/http://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/Manual/formated/Shooting_Range_-_1989_-_Bandai.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>), some can be played using either the Zapper or a controller (such as ''[[Operation Wolf]]''<ref>{{cite web |last1=McFerran |first1=Damien |title=Review: Operation Wolf (Virtual Console / NES) |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2008/02/operation_wolf_virtual_console |website=Nintendo Life |access-date=February 19, 2019 |date=February 5, 2008 |archive-date=February 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220062814/http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2008/02/operation_wolf_virtual_console |url-status=live }}</ref> and ''[[Mechanized Attack]]''<ref name="paste"/><ref>{{cite book |title=Mechanized Attack Instruction Manual |date=1990 |publisher=SNK |page=3 |url=https://www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Mechanized-Attack-Game-Manual.pdf |access-date=February 19, 2019 |quote=The game may be played using either the NES Zapper or Controller. |archive-date=February 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220002841/http://www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Mechanized-Attack-Game-Manual.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>), and some have specific shooting-oriented levels that can be played using either the Zapper or a controller (such as ''[[The Adventures of Bayou Billy]]'',<ref>{{cite web |last1=Smith |first1=A. |title=The Adventures of Bayou Billy - NintendoComplete Reviews and Media |url=http://www.nintendocomplete.com/adventures-of-bayou-billy/ |website=Nintendo Complete |access-date=February 19, 2019 |date=August 2, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217010429/http://www.nintendocomplete.com/adventures-of-bayou-billy/ |archive-date=February 17, 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Track & Field II]]'',<ref name="paste"/><ref name="gangeekstyle">{{cite web |author1=Kementari |title=Le Zapper Nes |url=https://gangeekstyle.com/2015/02/dossier-zapper-nes/ |website=Gangeek Style |access-date=November 18, 2023 |language=fr-FR |date=February 19, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226110004/https://gangeekstyle.com/2015/02/dossier-zapper-nes/ |archive-date=February 26, 2015}}</ref> and ''[[Chiller (video game)|Chiller]]''<ref name="paste"/>).
