Duck Hunting Games

By Dugan Dimensheski

It is easy to download duck hunting games on your computer or you can buy them at the store for your Nintendo. There are many variations of these games and some are made for younger audiences with funny ducks, while others are made for real hunters and feature blood and guts.

When I was young we played a game called Duck Hunt on the Nintendo 8 bit system that was released in the mid 1980s. Since their release in the 1970s, video games and duck hunting games have evolved dramatically.

My first Nintendo had a little gray laser light gun where I could shoot funny ducks on the TV screen. If you look at duck hunting games of today, they are almost real and true to life.

Video arcades today have games more advanced than nostalgic duck hunting games. These games cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and sometimes several dollars to play for a few brief minutes.

The graphics in old school duck hunting games are outdated compared with modern video games that simulate situations in life with almost pure reality. These new shooting games are so real that you almost feel like you are part of the video game. Video games now are more about making money and shooting things violently than having fun with your friends for a few hours.

Some of today's modern day video games cost several dollars to play. When I was younger most video games were a quarter and even the best ones were only 50 cents.

Playing duck hunting games and other Nintendo games when I was younger was alot of fun, but also a huge waste of time. I was so addicted to video games at one point that I rode my bike almost 5 miles on a Sunday to the greatest arcade in the city. It is too bad that the video game in a modern day arcade are so new and expensive compared to the old school video games I grew up with.

I recently sold my Xbox on Ebay and no longer play Nintendo games at all at home. I've seen that my friends and brother become so addicted to these video games that it consumes their whole lives and I never want to be a couch potato like that.

Playing a video game here and there to relieve stress is ok just as long as it is not a part of my daily routine. Duck hunting games can be played in a couple of minutes and are not like World of Warcraft where you just play for hours on end.
