Duck Hunt is a light-gun shooting game developed and published by Nintendo, released for the Famicom in Japan in 1984 and for the NES in 1985. It uses the NES Zapper, and in North America it was bundled with the system, often on the same cartridge as Super Mario Bros.

Game A sends out one duck at a time, Game B two, and Game C clay pigeons. A hunting dog picks up the ducks that are hit and laughs at the player when they get away.

A native PC port exists: DuckHuntNESRecomp, a static recompilation by mstan that uses the mouse as the Zapper.
