Funny that they say "most innovative games EVER" and include all 3D games.


Shouldn't DUCK HUNT be on that list?? It was the first shooting game, and spawned a lot of arcade shooters like Area 51, House of the Dead, Time Crisis, and many others.

The gun was also the first peripheral and probably inspired the motion control that Wii is now using.

Duck Hunt wasn't even close to being the first shooting game.

I believe the very first video game I ever played was a duck* shooting game. Even had a dog that barked. That would have been... oh... 1975, maybe 1976? Even if it was a brand new game at the time, it's still beating Duck Hunt by 8 years.

 

*To be fair, I was five years old. They could have been geese.
