Trivia
- Along with the N-ZAP '85, the N-ZAP '89 is based on the American version of the NES Zapper. The original accessory was made orange in May 1989 after the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of 1988 was passed, requiring toy guns to look drastically different from real guns. This is referenced in Sheldon's description of the weapon, stating the design had to be changed due to "legal reasons."
Etymology
N-ZAP '89 is a shortened form of NES Zapper 1989. '89 is based on the year the second, orange NES Zapper model was released.
The N-ZAP '89 has the same name origin in all regions.
