paint magnet

I came across this today and picked it up just for the heck of it. You move with the control pad and use the light gun to shoot. It has fairly good graphics (given the fact that it's played on the NES) and is somewhat realistic for the time.
Each hit on an opposing player's body registers as a splat to the stomach, no matter where you shoot them, and they throw their hands up and walk off. Gameplay consists of alternating forest, urban/city, and snow levels, in capture the flag format (there are three different paint colors, one for each level). Players appear to be wearing some type of shop goggles (remember, it's 1987), although the players on the Game Pak itself arenen't. It's a pretty decent game, though it does get somewhat repetitive.
Anyway, just thought I would post this and see what anyone else knows about it. I'm mainly curious as to what it's worth, and whether or not it is the first paintball video game ever made.
Any info is appreciated :)
*edit for pic* Ah, screw it, my computer is taking forever and personman already posted the pic anyway
