The NES Zapper from the famous game Duck Hunt has been reimagined by a hacker as a functioning telephone. This nostalgic device has now become a unique gadget that showcases modern ingenuity in gaming technology.

“It’s actually quite bad as a phone.” - Nick

This innovative transformation involves utilizing the Zapper’s light-sensing capabilities to handle phone calls and transmit audio. The tech behind this conversion draws inspiration from early phone designs that used light to communicate sound.

While this remarkable project reflects the spirit of 80s tech, Nick admits the design has practical limitations, emphasizing that it requires precise alignment with a laser beam for effective use.
