Duck Hunt

Hold the gun up to a lightbulb and become God.

Don't act like you didn't try to shoot the dog when he laughed at you.

First Zapper game that was on the nes. It has 3 modes of play in this. 1 Duck, 2 ducks at the same time and Clay shooter which is also 2 at a time to shoot. Most memorable thing in this game is the Dog either picking up the ducks you shot or him laughing at you when you missed the shots.

Fun for 20 minutes every 20 years. I love it despite its shittiness.

What if that laughing dog popped up after everything bad that happened to you?

This was literally the only game I ever used the Zapper gun for, and since it was packaged with the first Super Mario Brothers, I rarely actually played Duck Hunt. Gameplay was repetitive and boring, even as a kid. The skeet shooting was a little bit more fun, but not enough to make you actually want to play this.

Who else tried to shoot the freaking dog when he got too goddamned smug? Little bastard.

Did anyone ever get like really into this game? Not me. I've never played it for more than about ten consecutive minutes in my life.

Fuck you dog, you piece of shit. I'll shoot you a hundred times with this Zapper. How do you like that? Imagine if a game came out now in 2019 that mocked you for missing objectives? Twitter would lose it's god damn mind.

one of my favs ever

The zapper gimmick isn't a bad gimmick but this game is very middling.

Assuming the rampant repetition doesn't get you down. Duck hunt is an oddly addicting and amusing classic for the NES.

A lightgun game on your own TV felt like a crazy novelty at the time. (Though Nintendo had been making various kinds of lightgun toys since the 60s.) Did anyone really play this at the distance from the screen they were supposed to be? I wonder...

A good excuse to use the zapper (as few games that came after it really did), but it's really just- ducks fly on the screen, shoot them before they fly away or the dog will mock you. The dog's really the best part. Bet some of you didn't know you can control the duck with the 2nd player controls.

Very fun at first, but get's boring after awhile.

The gun always felt wildly inaccurate to me, but knowing how it works now, I guess it's more likely that child me was just bad. I imagine it was amusing when it was new?

Let you go pew pew pew at home!
