duck hunting games

One of my best childhood memories is playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo’s original 8-bit system when I was a kid in the 1980s! My friends and I used to sit and play duck hunting games and shoot thousands of ducks. We really had a lot of fun with a little gray plastic light gun that you pointed at the screen. This toy gun had a built in laser to shoot ducks at our console TV.

Nintendo games and video games in general have really become something spectacular since they were first introduced in the 1970s. The first system our family got was an Atari and I thought it was cool back then. Then we got the Nintendo and were blown away by the duck hunting games and Super Mario Brothers.

I am in awe of the video games out there today. I see graphics that are almost lifelike, with absolutely incredible perspectives and 3D scenes. The most popular games in this area are first person shooters. However, these types of games have a lot more action and violence than the old school duck hunting games I grew up with.

I walked into a local arcade last week and was shocked to see how expensive it is to play a video game for just a few minutes. These games are very complicated and I’m sure they must cost several thousand dollars. Today’s video games make the duck hunting games and other types of games I grew up with look completely ancient.

I haven’t found an arcade in the area that still has duck hunting games like they used to in the 1990’s. Most arcades would probably go out of business if they had games like that with such primitive graphics. People today want to play ultra-violent first person shooters where there is a lot of blood and gore.

All video games are so addictive and essentially a huge waste of time. The problem is that once you start playing, it’s hard to put it down. In fact, when I was a kid, I even rode my bike about 4 miles to the biggest arcade in town, just to play for a few hours.

It would really be nice to find a casual, laid-back arcade in the area with the kind of low-key, classic video games I grew up with. Playing silly duck hunting games on Nintendo, or even battling on Atari, was fun for hours when I was young.
