DUCK HUNT!!!



                It’s about time I got myself off of my high horse and instead of writing a review for a game here I’m simply going to tell you about an amazing the older games are. I’m not talking about GameCube old or PS1 old. I’m talking about NES old! That’s right; I’m taking a hiatus from my reviewing chair and I’m stepping into the world of the original sharpshooter game.  

                You make the duck call, aim your sights, and take your shot. That’s right retro gamers, we’re playing Duck Hunt for the NES. This game is no ordinary shooter game, because in this game for the NES mind you they incorporated a real life interactive pistol that you shoot at the screen and try to snipe those annoying birds right out of the sky. Here’s a little piece of the action 


As you can see this guy is a lot more skilled than I would ever be, but the fun of the game is apparent. This game is so much fun and so simplistic that almost anyone can play! While playing I found myself trying to move like a spy and kneel down to shoot the bad guy. I would even hold the gun sideways to try and act like a gangster and it only added to the excitement. Now I know asking you to buy a NES for this  game only is ridiculous, but it is worth it J. Oh just another wonder of the gaming world.

  1. Ah yes, duck hunt, that was that game. I remember paying that when i was a little kid, i always thought I was amazing haha (although i don't think I ever got to terribly far). Me and my brother would always fight over who got to play because we only had one gun and we would also have to blow on the cartridge multiple times to get that game to work. Also, just a side not, but that game will NOT work on newer TV's, only on older ones. It needs a glass surface to reflect off of so that it can sense the shots, and the way most newer TV's are made it doesn't bounce off correctly.
