If you’re still reading this and haven’t traveled over to Google yet, I’m going to explain why that awesome piece of plastic that brought hours of enjoyment and years of trigger-finger pain won’t work on your modern TV. This same Google search is followed by a visit to Craigslist in hopes that someone still happens to have an old tube television set they’re looking to get rid of. Disappointment soon sets in though, as you find out even the replacement gun is defective…or is it? A quick Google search of “light-gun not working” will produce hundreds of links explaining that light guns will only work on cathode ray tube or CRT TV’s. So a trip to the local retro game store (or eBay) will fix this problem and a new gun will hopefully satisfy your trigger-finger itch. This happens again, and again, and again until you finally come to the assumption that the gun must be broken.

You fire once, twice, and a third time only to watch the duck fly away and hear the dog giggle as he’s done so many times throughout your childhood. The dog smells its prey and jumps into the grass to scare the first duck who’s going to fall victim to your digital bullet. You find your gun and insert it into the controller port, and now you’re ready to blast away at that damn dog who laughs at your inability to shoot two ducks flying at such an erratic pattern that you swear they must have downed a few espressos while waiting to fly out of the jagged 8-bit grass. Blow some more spit back into the cart and jam that thing into the NES and wiggle it to set it just right. As you remove the cart you see that pixelated duck staring back at you just begging to be shot. It’s all coming back to you now and after breezing through the first level and eventually defeating Bowser like you’ve done hundreds of times before, it’s now time to play something else. After blowing your spit all over the inside of the game, you insert it and the press the power button which in turn emits a soft red glow over your now smiling face.

The controllers are plugged in and you commence digging through a massive pile of gray plastic to find the classic Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart.
