Zapper: Game Error - This game wouldn't start

Bronskrat · Mar 29, 2015

Just bought Zapper for $10 for the XBox 360 and it won't start. It's an old game from 2008 but is still listed in the XBox Live Games available for purchase. Tried running it off of the external HD, internal "memory", deleted and redownloaded the game, rebooted,
and not sure what else I can do. XBox is up to date on updates.

The game wouldn't start. Try downloading the game again. This comes up with trying to get on Netflix. What do I do?

Hey there Bronskrat!

Sorry to hear about the Zapper issue! It sounds like your Xbox 360 console may only have 4GB internal memory, is that correct? To play Original Xbox titles, you will need an official Xbox 360 Media HDD for your Xbox 360. The reason is because the official
hard drives have software built in to emulate older Original Xbox games.

I recommend finding an Official Xbox 360 Media HDD similar to this one here:
Microsoft Store: 500GB Media Hard Drive for Xbox 360

Hope that helps!

I played one word (I *think* it was to extend ZAP to ZAPPER, ZAPPED, or somesuch), and then no further moves were played by the other player. I claimed the game as a walkover after a week's wait.

...just like my NES controllers and Zapper won't work for my SNES...

have you purchased the game yet? if you like rpg games, this game is awesome and as about as addictive as the best mmo games, only better. you dont have all the social trash that comes with an mmo or lag or any of it, only awesomeness. the controls took
me a alittle while to really get used to it, but once i did, i was like a bug and a bug zapper.
