Gotcha! The Sport! [5 Screw]
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1987
About this game
Gotcha! is an NES Zapper title based on the "sport" of paintball, and loosely tied into the paintball-themed movie caper of the same name.
You are required to traverse three different battle zones, grab the opposing team's flag from the opposite end of the field, and make it back to your flag without getting shot.

One hand controls the Zapper while the other must hold the controller, since the D-Pad controls your movement up and down the field.
Limited ammo is also a concern, as is the ability for the computer team to snag your flag and return it to their base to win.
You can chase down and tag the flag carrier yourself to prevent this.
The game contains three difficulty levels and three different zones (woods, city, snowfield) which cycle until you lose all of your lives.
The number of enemies and their reaction time increase with each cycle.
Aside from additional ammo, there are no powerups, no teammates, just you against the computer for a beat-your-highest-score challenge.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Gotcha! The Sport! [5 Screw], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
