...I thought everyone knew that. I certainly did that to mess with my friends/siblings as a kid.

I spent countless hours on that game as a kid and only found out about the 2 player option last year!

You just blew my mind. I am going to have to test this later!

Unfortunately, the Zapper doesn't work on flat screen^H^H^H^H^H^H panel TVs

Surely you mean non-crts (or flat panel displays)? This is a flat screen tv and it should work just fine with duck-hunt -> http://www.amazon.com/Sony-WEGA-KV-27FS13-27-Flat-Screen/dp/...

Watch it, pedant. We know you know what he meant.

It's an important distinction.

Flat-panel displays killed one of my favorite genres of video games. As far as I know, all attempts at producing an modern, accurate light gun have failed. The Nintento Wii tries to act like a light gun controller, but the accuracy is awful.

That's how I won for years. You just keep the controller at your side and hit it at just the right time..

Or just hold the gun an inch or two away from the screen.

Damn.
