Can anyone explain how the Nintendo Duck Hunt Game works. On a Crt Tube.

I just don't see how the Gun was able to interact with the television set. How did the Phosphor know where a hit was located after light hit the screen ? Was there a collection of Photons induced at that point and the Scan Converter picked up and increase or something?

HowStuffWorks "How does the light gun for a video game work?" should explain.

From the link, I suppose you could say you can't "see it" because humans have inferior senses.

Cool a mix of both photo and scan.

I don't know why these things hit my mind sometimes.

Thanks Mickster.
