'''Duck Hunt''' was the thirteenth game that [[Nintendo]] released for the [[Famicom]]. It was later released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] as a launch title bundled with the console. The game was developed by Nintendo and is designed specifically for use with the {{c|NES Zapper}} {{c|light gun}}. Since its initial release, it has also been released in two combination cartridges: the most commonly seen [[Super Mario Bros.]] / Duck Hunt cartridge, and later in the Duck Hunt / [[World Track Meet]] / [[Super Mario Bros.]] cartridge. It also later made its way into the arcades under the name '''Vs. Duck Hunt''', and it was included in the [[PlayChoice-10]] arcade compilation cabinet. | |||
== | ==Game Modes== | ||
There are three modes to choose from in Duck Hunt: [[#Game A|Game A]], [[#Game B|Game B]], and [[#Game C|Game C]]. The objective of all these games is to shoot the various targets before the time runs out or you run out of bullets. | There are three modes to choose from in Duck Hunt: [[#Game A|Game A]], [[#Game B|Game B]], and [[#Game C|Game C]].

Thus, a second player can help to reduce the difficulty by keeping the duck on screen, or increasing the difficulty by flying erratically or quickly to the edges. | *'''Note''': the NES controller in slot #1 can be used to control the duck's flight.

In game A your dog scares up one duck for you to shoot. You are provided three bullets to shoot the duck and there is a limited amount of time before the duck flies away. There are 10 sessions of one duck per level and you must shoot a certain amount of ducks to advance to the next level. If you shoot all ten ducks in a level you get a "perfect bonus". As you advance through each level the ducks fly progressively faster and are therefore harder to shoot. Once you beat level 99, you will enter level 0: an impossible "kill-stage" where the ducks rapidly and erratically fly to the edges or leave the screen instantly. | In game A your dog scares up one duck for you to shoot.

===Game B=== | ===Game B=== | ||
Game B is pretty much the same game as game A except this time two ducks are scared out of the grass and you must shoot them both. This version is more difficult since you still only have three bullets and the time limit is the same. There are only 5 two duck sessions per level, making play slightly faster. | Game B is pretty much the same game as game A except this time two ducks are scared out of the grass and you must shoot them both.

As with Game A, you can reach round 99 if you are skilled enough. If you complete it, you will enter round 0, where the ducks will move slowly rather than causing an instant gameover. Completing this round returns you to the first round. | As with Game A, you can reach round 99 if you are skilled enough.

The ducks are absent form this mode, being replaced by clay disks or "pigeons". Again, you are given three bullets with which you must shoot two disks that are launched from the bottom of your screen. As these disks progress through the air they get farther and farther away and much harder to shoot. If you can, it is easiest to shoot them as soon as they are launched. This mode is described as "the ultimate challenge" in the instruction booklet. | The ducks are absent form this mode, being replaced by clay disks or "pigeons".

As with Game A, you can reach round 99 with enough patience. If you complete it, you will enter round 0. While the clays are launched at a slow speed, they will disappear half-way up the screen and require a quick reaction to hit. | As with Game A, you can reach round 99 with enough patience.

In addition, you need to shoot a minimum number of ducks or discs on each round. The amount will start to increase on round 11, and will not decrease if you managed to wrap the round counter back to 0. | In addition, you need to shoot a minimum number of ducks or discs on each round.
