Up there with Solar Striker with it's anonymity among more casual Nintendo fans is the NES black box title "Gumshoe", which has gone pretty much unreleased in Japan and on any other kind of service. It many ways it represents Nintendo's strive to invent and create new gimmicks, but it also represents how much of a bunch of nincompoops they can be.

This is a Zapper game like Duck Hunt or Wild Gunman, but instead of being mostly a target shooting game it is also a platforming game. You see, Detective Dipshit over here has a problem with his legs, he can only keep running and running and can never stop unless he puts himself into a pit or gets killed by oncoming objects. You can help Detective Dipshit on his quest to find the pink panther rip-off items by shooting him to make him jump to avoid obstacles. This sounds fun in theory, but in addition to needing to pay attention to where Detective Dipshit is and keep him from blundering his way into death traps, you also need to shoot objects that come his way on-screen. Now keep in mind, I am emulating this and technically cheating by using a mouse as my firing weapon. The game is still very very hard, and very very annoying to play.

I seriously cannot imagine trying to play this thing with a real Zapper, because in addition to needing to be more precise than I am with a mouse you also need to deal with the Zapper's one in fifteen ability to mysteriously fail to register a hit. In a generic target shooting game like Duck Hunt it's not the worst deal, but here it could mean a lost life and lost progress. It's woeful. This is kinda like Pac-Man 2, except devoid of all the dopey charm and all the meme potential front-loaded into this dumb piece of music that Hip Tanaka composed after smoking a big blunt.

A really really dumb game, big recommend to try it yourself sometime.
