Instructions: Move Fire History: Released in 1984 by Nintendo, Duck Hunt was one of the first games on the NES platform to use the 'light gun'. Gameplay: The basic idea of this game is pretty simple - you're a duck hunter armed with a pistol and your trusty dog. You might have noticed that the version of Duck Hunt on this page has been modified. There's still the standard 1 or 2 ducks option (Game A and Game B) where you have three shots to shoot one or two ducks each round. But there's also a Game D called Dogs. Game D is just wrong. There's a field of dogs running around in front of you and you are holding a machine gun. Regardless of what game option you decide to play, you probably will want to turn on the MOUSE option. It will make your game play much easier. Features: By the way, the sound effects are pretty much what you'd expect for a game from the early 1980s - that is, awful by today's standards - game play and graphics are simple - but it remains a classic and is fun to play every once in a while. Enjoy! NERD NOTE: Duck Hunt was one of the two original pack-in titles for the first release of the game system (the other was Gyromite). The game was not often reviewed, but given positive reviews from players of the game. Prior to the NES version, Nintendo had also made a Duck hunt game based on Laser Clay Shooting System, which was released in 1976.
