The Light Phaser was a light gun created for the Sega Master System, modeled after the Zillion gun from the Japanese anime series of the same name. It was arguably a higher quality product than the similar Nintendo Entertainment System's Zapper light gun. The phaser was heavier than its Nintendo counterpart and considered by some to be have a more responsive trigger and more accurate targeting. As with the Nintendo Zapper, the Light Phaser looked realistic enough to warrant parental pressure to alter the device so that police would not confuse it with a real gun. Altered Light Phasers are distinguished by a hand-painted neon orange tip and are much rarer than their solid color counterparts. Tec Toy also released a blue Light Phaser in Brazil.

• The Light Phaser was available as a part of the "Sega Master System Plus" and the "Sega Super Master System Plus" bundles.

• The Light Phaser was copied, almost exactly, as the Magnum Light Phaser for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1987.

• In Pure Pwnage, FPS Doug received the light gun from a friend of teh_masterer. It had an endless supply of energy and phenomenal speed of light. It is able to fire a red beam of energy that causes a small explosion with enough force to flip over a trash can.
