The Gun on NES

[Junooni]

I'm talkin about the one they used for Duck Hunt. How did that thing work?

[real_low_mind]

i dont know, but all i know is it wouldn't work unless i was 1 inch away from the screen (but i won every time)

[robbyxrawks1]

that game was too hard for me :(

[Ugoff]

It has something to do with the gun hitting the color white. My friend said he would win by shooting his celing.

[el doctor]

I believe that when you pulled the trigger, it would cause the screen to flash black with a little white square where the duck is. If the gun was aimed at this square (the duck), then the sensor would pick it up and the duck would be successfully shot.

[The Ska Man]

I rock at Duck Hunt.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm not sure, but I remember I would always cheat by standing right next to the screen. I figured myself to be a clever little 6-year-old :cool:

[Junooni]

I remember the white square, so that's prolly right.

Cierto :cool:

I've heard that if you put a magnifying glass in front of the gun, and you shot it, the reading laser or whatever spreads out and hits everything.

Makes sense. For NES though that's pretty impressive.

[BigTrav415]

Makes sense. For NES though that's pretty ****ing genius.
Agreed.

[Interstate]

I sucked at Duck Hunt :upset:

[Puma]

Duck Hunt was the bomb diggidy. I wish I still had it.

Yeah I remember hearing of some kind of bug like that, ours was that if you shot the bottom-left corner of the screen, everything would be hit, and you could cheat at duck hunt.

[sum1soiledMyBongos]

el doctor is correct.

That thing was awesome. Much better than that bazooka thing for the SNES. If you moved even an inch, it had to be calibrated again. Not to mention the dreadful games and the battery consumption. Lame.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

sega saturn i believe had a battle rifle with a scope, there was like one game for it.

[FunkyMunky]

wow you guys are old...................................jk




I had that too its fun

[guitarded_chuck]

Funnest game ever

[BigTrav415]

Funnest game ever
I'd 123 that. I'm really surprised no crazy eco-terrorist PETA freak has sued Nintendo for making that game yet. I'm sure they would have were you able to shoot the dog though :lol:

[Pop music sucks]

I frickin' hate that stupid dog:angry:

Recently my brother and I played on that with our uncle's NES, we got to level 25 before the ducks were too fast.

We did Impulse Shots. The kind where you keep the lightgun down, bring it up and shoot a duck when you see it. We got to level 20 before we had to keep the gun at TV screen level.

Duck Hunt was the bomb diggidy. I wish I still had it.


Dude, you pitch in about 5-6 bucks and I pitch in about 5-6 bucks and we can go get a NES and Duck Hunt at GameStop.

[Kithkin]

We did Impulse Shots

We did that too. Only we did shots of tequila whenever we missed.

We made it to level 8...

[Jonny]

Imagine if they remade Duck Hunt for Revolution with the new controller...

[Pop music sucks]

We made it to level 8...Heh.


I think our uncle might sell it off, as they just keep it in storage at my grandpa's place.

Duck Hunt + Contoller = ghey.

[See you auntie!]

It's not an ordinary controller.

[burning star IV]

I don't care.

[Crapdragoon]

lvl 114 = game over for me

[Mr.Shankly]

I currently own three of the light guns. None of them work.

-Side Note: I bought the Mario and Duck-Hunt combo for 25 cents.
