Tech NES Duck Hunt

NES Duck Hunt

Ok so my buddy and I were discussing how in the hell Duck Hunt knew back then where you were shooting? Like with a mouse it registers signals from a ball or now a laser, but the tv had no knowledge of what was shot. How did the Gun no where it shooting?

That's funny. I went there right after I posted this. lol oops.

it doesnt work on most new TVs now though... I tried playing my time crisis game for ps2 on my HD bigscreen and it was a no go.

hehe all I have to say is old school technology hehe

everyone admit it... you used to put the gun right up to the tv screen and just nail those ducks like a champ. I know I did, haha.

I did for sure with the clay shooting.

nice thread, i wondered too!

I do admit that too, however I was also pretty good at long distance shooting with one or two ducks, I really enjoyed this kinda old school games man..... did any of you ever play Hogan's Alley or something like that? man that game kicked a$$

Yeah Hogan's Alley. Hahaha, wow. Isn't that the one in Back to the Future II that Marty was a "crack shot" at in the diner?
