Duck Hunt
Shooting series started in 1984
A series inspired a toy that Nintendo had made back in 1976, Duck Hunt is a simple game where the player must use the NES Zapper peripheral to shoot ducks out of the sky. If you don't shoot all the ducks in time, or waste all your ammo, your dog will laugh at you and the game ends.
