A 25-year-old man from South Carolina has been apprehended by police after allegedly robbing a convenience store armed with a Nintendo light gun, a popular accessory primarily used in the 1980s to play classic games such as Duck Hunt, Hogan’s Alley, and Gumshoe. The incident, originally reported by York County deputies, resulted in the suspect making off with $300 in cash.
According to law enforcement officials, the suspect entered the store wearing a mask, wig, and hoodie sweatshirt, brandishing the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Zapper gun accessory. He allegedly waved the modified fake gun at a store clerk, demanding money from the cash register. After successfully completing the robbery, the suspect fled the scene.
