Zapper, Light Gun, Hogan's Alley, Gumshoe

Duck Hunt was one of the first light gun games for the Nintendo. The basic idea was that you were a hunter (with a pistol, for some reason) hunting ducks with your trusty dog. You'd have three shots to shoot one or two ducks each round. If you missed both ducks, the dog would laugh at you. After ten rounds of duck hunting, you went to the shooting range and shot at clay pigeons for another ten rounds, although the dog was absent. The game was rather fun and satisfying initially but got old quickly. Fun to play once in a while. Note: Nintendo censored the console version from the arcade version by removing the bonus round and the ability to shoot the dog, which was rather fun.

3 - Although they were 'arcade perfect', the graphics were fairly simple. Still, the shocked look on the duck's face when you shot it was priceless. Nintendo removed the feature where you could shoot the dog during the bonus round.

4 - The light gun was fairly accurate, so you could sit as far away from the TV as the cord would let you and still have a decent chance of hitting the targets.

2 - The generic gunshot sound was stolen from Gumshoe and Hogan's Alley. Average musical scores and poor sound effects didn't really enhance the experience.

3 - After a while, shooting ducks got really boring. It was nice to have the skeet shooting levels in between, but even that was only amusing for so long. Not much replay value.
