Everyone in the comments is forgetting about light gun games. They don't work on LCD screens
There are patches for the NES zapper games to make them work on modern TVs.

Ironically, the light gun segments are doable with the gamepad and actually easier that way. I always used the gamepad to beat them instead of the zapper.
Oh, I know. And at least some emulators let you use the mouse as a faux light gun so all is not lost.
There are a number of ways to get around that, such as the Sinden lightgun for Playstation, or ROM patches for the NES.
