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!

Any SNES Gamers Here?

> I thought Duck Hunt was on the NES and not SNES?

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 🤣
