LaserScope
The Konami LaserScope is a head-mounted light gun used with and licensed for the Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. It was originally released in 1990 in Japan for the Famicom under the name Gun Sight.
It was designed for the game Laser Invasion, but works with any game compatible with the NES Zapper. In the United States, Laser Invasion came with a coupon for a $5 discount for the LaserScope.
It is voice-activated, firing a shot whenever the wearer says "fire" (although some reviewers criticized its ability to do so). The headset also includes an eyepiece with a crosshair that sits in front of the wearer's right eye.
The LaserScope is powered through the audio port of the NES, allowing it to function as headphones for the NES.
Reception
The LaserScope received negative reviews for its poor microphone technology; users complained that saying anything into the microphone would cause the LaserScope to fire, including background noise.

Lousy Horoscope
by: WarshipHumming a tune to keep the chattering voice out.
While running to where they smoke and drink in a tree house.
...and then find your way home.
Immortals with no morals, and no hang ups.
Yeah, you just want to get drunk and get fucked up...again.
And then find your way home.
I was clumsy at the post bank.
Lost in a foreign land
And begging in a language that no one understands.
And I would have dropped a quarter when I got back to the states.
But the mourning was almost over
And I guess I missed the wake.
More insight, on with life
I get more insight, on with life.
And I won't let it bring me down.
I wont let it bring me down.
I wont let it bring me...
I know I'm never gonna see you again
But I'm thankful for the time that we spent.
And every time I lose a friend I lose another layer of my armor.
I know I'm never gonna see you again
But I'm thankful for the time that we spent.
