The Menacer is a light gun peripheral released by Sega in 1992 for its Sega Genesis and Sega CD video game consoles. It was created in response to Nintendo’s Super Scope and as Sega’s successor to the Master System Light Phaser. The gun is built from three detachable parts (pistol shoulder stock sights) and communicates with the television via an infrared sensor. The Menacer was announced at the May 1992 Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago and was released later that year.
