Sony alarm clock controlled by Nintendo light-gun

This is a sweet device mashup on eBay: a Nintendo light gun that controls a classic Sony cube-shaped alarm-clock:

This auction is for the piece titled "Nintendo gun shoots Sony Digicube", designed by Roger Ibars. This piece connects two electronic pop icons from the 80s: the famous cube-shaped bestselling alarm clock from Sony and the Nintendo light gun Zapper, launched in 1985 along with the also bestselling 8 bit game console NES. These two devices are hard-wired so the time and the alarm of the Sony clock can be set up firing with the light gun. See the "hard-wired functionalities" below to know how it works. This piece in particular has been featured in the magazine Artinvestor dec. 2005 (special issue on Game Art).
