Throwback to Duck Hunt - A Timeless Game

Before we had Duck Dice, the bitcoin gambling game, we had Duck Hunt. Now Duck Hunt was a little before my time, but it was a popular and well-loved game in its prime. There are still many Nintendo fans who won’t admit to still playing and having a great time with the good old duck hunt. Once you start and see those cheeky birds getting away from you, you won't be able to stop until you take them all down!

Duck Hunt is a light shooter game that was created in 1984. The game was developed for the elite Nintendo Entertainment System. The game came out in Japan, April 1984 for the computer console and then as an arcade game in North America. In 1985 it was released as a launch game in North America for the NES system, then it went to Europe two years later.

Duck Hunt Is a first-person shooter game in which, as the name implies - you shoot ducks. The objective is to shoot the duck when they are in mid-flight on the screen. To play the game, you need the NES Zapper, which is what you use to aim and shoot the ducks.

Unfortunately, you need to have a CRT television as the HDTVs, and the LCD does not work with the game. Duck Hunt is played in the first-person perspective, and each round has ten targets that you need to aim and shoot. You have three attempts to hit the ducks before they fly off the screen.

The player must shoot a certain number of ducks to qualify for the next round. If you fail to do this, then it is game over. As you advance to the next levels, the difficulty will increase. You will get more targets to hit, but the targets get faster. The player will get points when they have shot a duck, and if you shoot all of them in the round, you qualify for bonus points. For all the games that get played within one session,the scores are kept. Once the unit is turned off, these scores will disappear.

There are three game modes to Duck Hunt. Games one and two are in a wooded area, and in the third game mode, you get clay pigeons that are launched away from the screen. Game one and two have two ducks on the screen at the same time. Game one allows you to add a second player to control the birds with the controller. The levels start at one and go up to 99 if you can make it. If you manage to beat the 99th round, you then go to a kill screen known as round 0. This is where you experience the game going crazy, targets moving strangely, or you might not get any targets at all.

Duck Hunt is just an all-around fun game. We love the modern games, but none are just as simple as Duck Hunt and have the ability to create a fun atmosphere that is addictive. Don’t let those birds get the better of you!
