A game that involves some serious fowl play.
Duck Hunt is an interesting relic of times past and one that I have conflicting feelings about. While it was my earliest NES memory and no doubt fun from what I can remember, it also hasn't aged quite as well as I would have hoped. But sometimes, that's just how it goes with the games we played as children. I suppose the biggest letdown is realizing that the game simply isn't as stimulating to me as it once was, mostly due to its limited nature. At its core, you're just shooting the same objects round after round until you fail to reach the required quota. Be that as it may, Duck Hunt's importance in Nintendo's history cannot be overlooked.

We throw around the word “community” in the video games arena without a second thought. Even small enthusiast sites have community managers and a myriad of other ways to strengthen and connect people who are passionate about games. If it weren’t for several key creatives that helped form the gaming landscape through the decades, though, we might not have the communities we all take for granted. Dungeons & Dreamers’ updated second edition guides us on a journey that shows how communities became so important to gaming. It’s an intriguing thesis that is hammered home with a continuous chain of examples that make it undeniable how integral community has always been to video games.
