Duck Hunt is a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is one of the well-known, and best-remembered, NES games in the United States because it was bundled with the system in a double game cartridge with Super Mario Bros.
Duck Hunt is a rifle shooting game based on a Beam Gun toy of the same name. There are three modes. Game A has one duck at a time on screen and Game B has two ducks. Game C is Duck Hunt, which is based on a Beam Gun toy of the same name. Game C is Clay Shooting which is based on the arcade game, Laser Clay Shooting System.
The game is simple but addicting. The duck hunting modes are the most fun, as you try to shoot birds that fly in zig-zag patterns. Your hunting dog will go off barking to bring your catch back to you. If you miss all ducks on the screen, then the dog will laugh at you. To gamers of a certain age, both the barking and laughing sound effects will be fondly and not-so-fondly, remembered respectively.
Duck Hunt is one of those "simple is better" games, and it does so in all of the best ways. It's simple but addictive, and there is the optional difficulty setting to have multiple ducks on the screen at a time. You can also do some clay shooting, but without the duck animations, it's far less entertaining. The only drawback in this day and age is that modern LCD televisions don't do horizontal refreshes, so traditional light guns don't work. Without a CRT television, you can only play the game on the Wii U Virtual Console or with a modern solution such as a Wiimote mixed with an Arduino to record the shot locations.
Final Verdict:
4 out of 5
