    This reminds me of Duck Hunt. Basically you’re not shooting anything from the “gun”. Instead, for a brief moment, the screen turns black and the ducks turn into white blocks. The gun will then register if you’re pointing it at a white block or not and register it as a hit. This was specifically attuned to the refresh rates of CRTs, and consequently will not work with newer LED/LCD TVs.

      That’s correct.

      Also, if you just put the light gun right against the TV screen, it’ll register a hit no matter where you’re pointing 😅
