Yes, this is stupid.

"Naturally, because it was a gaming party, they drew up a poster with images of a Nintendo game controller and the Zapper, a gray-and-red electronic pistol that came with the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System."

Wrong.

That's an Atari 2600 controller. And the Zapper is orange, not red.
But whatevs .

I knew that was an Atari 2600 controller and that the Zapper was grey and orange.  However, I somehow missed that line in the article.  The second link is where I found the pic since the Forbes article didn't show it.   Just shows you what a fine job journalist do with gaming articles.  However, the original NES Zapper did have red writing on it with a red / orange (not too sure what it is) trigger.  The re release was bright orange.
