Description

"Dive into the world of Duck Hunt, a classic 1984 light gun shooter game developed and published by Nintendo. Released initially in Japan and later in North America and Europe, Duck Hunt became a legendary title for the NES video game console. The game's unique mechanics required players to use the NES Zapper and a CRT television to hunt virtual ducks appearing on the screen. The aim is to shoot the ducks, with each successful hit earning points. Progression through the game depends on achieving the required number of successful shots per round. The game features three modes: Game 'A' and 'B' with flying ducks as targets and Game 'C' featuring clay pigeons. The difficulty increases progressively, with targets moving faster and requirements for successful shots increasing. Enjoy this nostalgic trip back to the golden era of gaming with Duck Hunt.

Game Controls

The game controls involve using the NES Zapper light gun to aim and shoot at the virtual ducks on the CRT TV screen. In 'Game A', a second player can control the movement of the flying ducks using a regular NES controller.
