Having Fun with Duck Hunt

I remember one of the first games that I played when I was a kid, was Duck Hunt on Nintendo. The video game cartridge was quite bulky and probably had a storage capacity of 500 kilobytes. Despite the size of the cartridge, and the storage of memory the game was quite fun.

There was always a lot of action on screen, with ducks flying around, and a dog chasing those ducks. Playing this addicting game when I was a kid was pure joy, and bliss. The sound effects were quite simple for a shoot and click game, and can be explained with the following word, "pow". I have not played that game in over twenty years and I can reminisce about that dog always laughing at me after I missed shooting those ducks. The game was simple, enjoyable fun that I would play with my father from time to time. This was probably the turning point in time from moving from board games to video entertainment systems.

Duck Hunt came packed with the first release of the Nintendo system and I have seen flash reincarnations of this classic game on several arcade mediums. The original Duck Hunt game represents a milestone in history that brought arcade games to television sets. This landmark in time may be equivalent to the shifting of home cook meal to TV dinners. Sure, Mario is credited for being that arcade game that represented this cultural shift in entertainment but Duck Hunt was packed in the box too. To my fellow retro Nintendo players, long live Duck Hunt. Retro games rule!
