It's true. The NES light gun is a single bit optical sensor that must be
polled by software.
There's enough CPU time on the NES to monitor the light gun input in a
tight loop, get the exact vertical position, and also a coarse (+/- 10%)
horizontal position. Duck Hunt (and other NES light gun games) didn't
take advantage of that approach, though.
