Yeah, played heaps.
Duck Hunt and Super Mario World of course were the classics, I also enjoyed Final Fantasy VI:
Also played the Donkey Kong games. Also Super Mario Kart was fun.
I really enjoyed playing Super Tennis, I even play these days from time to time:
Of course Super Soccer was a great game. Beating the Nintendo team was a great feeling.
I hit way too many pots with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past
Out of all of them though, I think Super Mario World was the best game overall. I still play it these days and enjoy it thoroughly. Maybe Zelda could rival it.
I thought Duck Hunt was on the NES and not SNES?
The first time getting that 96* on Super Mario World took a while, especially in an age where you could not look up gaming guides online. But the sense of accomplishment was no joke.
A Link to the Past was my introduction to the Zelda series and the game was just great, period.

Yeah, you're right, I mixed them up.
What a great game it was, completely revolutionary with the gun. It only works with the old TVs (the ones with the big back, CRTs).
When you pressed the zapper the TV would change the image to a black screen with a white rectangle where the duck was. The zapper was simply a light sensor. It would either pickup a low signal (black background) or a high signal (the bright white rectangle) and based on that it would know if you hit the bird.
That also explains why they only had 2 ducks and no more. They would add a second black frame with a white rectangle where the second duck was. If they keep adding those frame it would be too obvious and it wouldn't look nice. So that's why they only had 2.
And the dog, so annoying when he was laughing at you 🤣

Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about, because when I was 9 or 10, at the time, our landlord's sons had a NES with Duck Hunt and numerous other NES games. I would go to their gaming room to play with them. Indeed that dog was annoying, but at the same time, very funny. Fun times!
