So if this the world's first light/beam gun?

From 1970...

Damn, has to be, that's OLD!

The only thing that would make me believe there is one before this one (as in maybe a few months before) would be the fact that Nintendo probably wouldn't sell a light gun that didn't come with something it could interact with (like a target). So I would say the earliest light gun release would probably be one that come with a target like the lion or the bust of the lion, because I know the gunman target w/ gun came out in '76. Unless I am totally wrong on the assumption who knows.

Does anyone remember the slight stink that was raised when a picture of that was found in the Game Boy Camera's default gallery?

[vealchop]

I remember reading about that. I love the controversy Nintendo's choice to make their light gun look like a six shooter caused. If you play warioware for the wii, theres a stage where you have to defeat ROB in a starfox type stage, in the japanese version he has a six shooter, in the american version hes got the lame zapper...just takes all the character out of it. meh...

I just played that a few days ago. I thought giving him a Zapper was a funny touch.

I could understand why they took that out, as more people playing Warioware in America will remember the Zapper as opposed to this one. I mean, we'd get it, sure, but most people wouldn't. Besides, I think it's funnier to see ROB holding a giant laser pistol as opposed to a revolver.

I think the complete opposite.

[Flash1087]

Alright, I'll give you that. ROB holding anything is funny. Think about him with...like a corndog or something.

We need to experiment - who has a ROB?

Who's got the corndogs?

[Flash1087]

I got a ROB (with the box!). I'll see what I can do. 

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Do you have a Super Scope?

[Flash1087]

Regrettably, no. I've wanted one since I was, oh...five? I was five or six when it came out, I think.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

How about the Namco gun? Or the Time Crisis one?

[Doc]

Those Time Crisis guns colors are so...loud?

[Jedi Master Baiter]

What are you talking about? One is grey, the other one is black.
