The best part of Duck Hunt is when you get to pistol whip your cousin with the zapper.

There is a small elf with binoculars in the barrel of every gun, another elf near the trigger and a final elf at the end of the wire connected to the console.

When you pull the trigger the 'trigger elf' shouts 'now' to the elf with binoculars who quickly looks through them to see if there are any ducks in view, he then shouts 'hit' or 'miss' to the elf at the end of the wire who marks a scorecard.

It never did register when I shot that damn laughing dog.

To think that we could do this kind of stuff 20+ years ago is pretty amazing. Kudos to whoever came up with the idea and managed to make it so affordable (it was wayyyy ahead of its time).

My brother and I messed with the color of the tv until it was somewhat grey and white (not black and white). Then, wherever we shot, the duck would fall. We got to level 99 of that skeet shooting game. Then, two HUGE skeets came out of the bottom of the screen. When they hit mid-screen, they disappeared. We were so stunned, that we didn't even shoot at them. Then, it was game over.

 

dam i thought i already knew everything about that game
