Lightgun Alarm Clock on eBay

Someone is selling a bit of gaming art on eBay. The Nintendo Gun Shoots Sony Digicube is a Nintendo light gun hardwired to a Sony cube-shaped clock. The device uses the light gun to set the time and alarm. Unfortunately, you can't shoot the alarm clock to shut it up.

This auction is for the piece titled Nintendo gun shoots Sony Digicube , designed by Roger Ibars. This piece connects two electronic pop icons from the 80s: the famous cube-shaped bestselling alarm clock from Sony and the Nintendo light gun Zapper, launched in 1985 along with the also bestselling 8 bit game console NES. These two devices are hard-wired so the time and the alarm of the Sony clock can be set up firing with the light gun. See the hard-wired functionalities below to know how it works. This piece in particular has been featured in the magazine Artinvestor dec. 2005 (special issue on Game Art).
