CrunchGear points to this pretty amazing Duck Hunt NES zapper lamp that features not only a Duck Hunt lampshade and orange plastic zapper, but also a replica Duck Hunt cart made of cardboard.
Lamp creator fluffypants says that the typical cartridge wasn't large enough to be stable, so she created a 1.5 scale replica to serve as the base. Pretty neat, though I wish she had slapped on a mocking dog on the other side of the shade.

Does it turn on by pulling the trigger?
This is made of total awesomeness. I would buy it but then again i don't need a lamp. Wouldn't hurt to hold onto it though.
This doesn't need an outlet, the sheer amount of awesome will turn the light on.
I want one! You don't know how many times I've wanted to shoot the dog right up the @ss. With that, I'd be able to every time I turn on the light.
Stupid mutt.
^%&*$ Thats a brilliant shade. Its so tasy i would eat it!
Lamps, the new cake? In any case I'd totally buy this.
Daaaamn. If there was a little speaker in it that would make the quack sounds when you turned the lamp on and off that would be so great.
She used a replica cart because it's 1.5x bigger for better stability. I was about to say, duck hunt carts aren't exactly hard to find.
that is the coolest lamp ever!! I HATE THAT DAMN DOG!!!!! I hope to do something similar soon (but probley not as cool)
I call dibs on KungFu lamp just cause... although, a balloon fight for my mom would be nice... Fun times....
the best part of this post is the introduction of the creator:

On thing that always bothered me about duck hunt was a little line in the manual. It said to be careful not to accidentally shoot your dog. I tried so hard to "accidentally" shoot that stupid laughing bitch.
@sariah: He's even got a surprised look as is face!
Now any new gun-shaped peripheral is going to come with the warning: Do not insert into any orifice.
Gawd, at least they used the dog with the quarry, not the dog laughing at you.
If they had done so I'd have been forced to destroy something that is clearly crafted from pure win.
That's pretty awesome. I wish I was that crafty.
The way the picture was taken though, the lamp looks like it has a huge cobweb hanging off the left of the light gun barrel.
Oh God, I gotta have that NOW!
Really really cute!
i like this for some reason.
