Jennifer's been kidnapped! Now's your chance to prove you're a sharp-shooting detective by helping Jennifer's father find the five diamonds that will pay her ransom. You'll use your Zapper light gun to blow away anything that gets in your way. But even with the Zapper, this case will be hard to crack. Because not only are the diamonds hard to find, but you only have 24 hours to find them! What's more, you'll have to think fast and shoot even faster, because ferocious monsters, diving airplanes and hungry man-eating sharks will stop at nothing to prevent you from getting to the diamonds. Think you're a sharp-shooting detective? Well, you better be. Because if you're not, it's curtains for you in this quick-on-the-trigger Nintendo Light Gun game! A direct port of the game was released for the Nintendo VS. System arcade machine in 1987.

I guess if you tilt your head sidways and squint this is the forefather of Flappy Bird.

Neat use of the Zapper, and that's all it's got going for it

A forgotten little NES novelty that combines an auto runner with platforming all controlled with the Zapper. It's challenge is mainly designed around that (somewhat mitigated when playing it on PC).Cool little black box game tho. Feels like a game a father and son would grow up with.

Super Sharpshooter Flappy Bird

An ill-conceived use of the lightgun and terribly unfair. Not fun at all.

A sort of continuation of Hogan's Alley C-mode. Logic is a bit atypical, since you have to shoot the obstacles and Stevenson's character to make him bounce. Good difficulty and concept.
