    What's not to love with this game? It's a basic light gun game with just the right amount of everything to make it sweet. You get ducks, dog rustles up ducks, and you shoot them. You don't need anything flashy for this a... Read Full Review

    "Can Be Considered One of the NES Classics"

    By GSuser10 | Review Date: Jan 07, 2014 | NES

    Honestly, there isn't much to say about this game. You just point the Nintendo Zapper at the T.V. and shoot the ducks. Depending on the Zapper you will either: 1) hit all the ducks 2), miss the ducks, 3) hit and miss t... Read Full Review

    Shoot the duck.

    By BorosandJerk | Review Date: Dec 04, 2012 | NES

    The run down: Its a game where you shoot duck. What more do you want. And it some times came with the super Mario brothers in the same cartridge. This old time shooter made you want to stand there for hours on end shoot... Read Full Review

    One of my first video games. Such memories...

    By dawnofhero | Review Date: May 20, 2010 | NES

    The game is simple. Basic. To the point. Your cartoon dog walks out and jumps into the grasses, flushing out the ducks. You take aim, shoot, and if you're good, your dog will bag the panicky foul for you. Sometimes I ... Read Full Review
