Watch: Pre NES Duck Hunt

By Spencer . February 26, 2007 . 11:02am

Did you know that the NES wasn’t the first system with Duck Hunt? It was originally a projector game with a battery powered rifle. In the stand alone game of Duck Hunt players would point the projector at a wall, turn down the lights and shoot orange colored ducks.

There are more pictures of the Duck Hunt 1977 package over at Japan-Games.

    Intriguing. I was waiting to see if the annoying dog would come out and giggle. I know it'd be too difficult to do, but it'd be funny.

    That's almost as loud as my 360.
  • Very interesting! Thanks for posting. I do like the dog though. I've been using the dog as an avatar for years.
  • This is not one of the only toys they released before they started making video games. Nintendo's been around since 1889 as a card game company and manufacturer of a whole lot of other entertainment things.
  • Nice find!

    Yeah i remember seeing my cousins playing this a long time ago and always wondered what it was!thanks!

    My cousins had one... I've been wondering what is was for a while now. I remember it being kinda cool, actually, but I was like, 4 at the time.
  • Just FYI, this game (not the NES Duck Hunt, but this one) inspired one of 9-Volt's microgames in the Wii game "WarioWare Smooth Moves".
