Video Challenger (ビデオチャレンジャー) was an interactive television toy that released in 1987 by Takara. Toy-Television interaction was supposed to be the next big thing in toy marketing and Mattel had a similar TV-Toy in North America at the same time called Captain Power.
The toy consisted of a light gun called the Challenge Blaster that responded to signals from the television playing a VHS tape. The more the player fired at appropriate targets on the screen, the more points the Challenge Blaster would rack up. Since the "game" was only a VHS tape, the missions played out the same way all the time.
The toy was cross-marketed into the anime The Headmasters in which children could fire at the Decepticons in the opening credits and score points in selected episodes. Daniel himself carries a Challenge Blaster in the anime and is sometimes seen playing the game.
