Laser Invasion (NES, 1991)

Source: http://www.megalextoria.com/wordpress/index.php/2017/01/27/laser-invasion-nes/

Laser Invasion was a 1991 game by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It's sort of a strange hybrid 1st person shooting game. You can use the controller but much of it is really designed for the NES Zapper light gun (or Konami's own LaserScope which is a head mounted version of the same thing).

There are a three main parts to this game. In the first part you pilot a helicopter (and shoot stuff) but landing the helicopter at the end of the stage is a specific challenge as well. In the second part, the screen scrolls right to left while you try to shoot the bad guys. The third part is a sort of a 1st person explore and escape the maze type of thing. The game consists of missions which usually include all three parts. All in all it's a pretty average game at best. It's something you might want if you really like light gun games but something to avoid otherwise.
