Duck Hunt

In game modes A and B, players view a swampland from a first-person perspective.

The dog scares the ducks out of the swamp, one at a time in mode A or two at a time in mode B.

The ducks go flying around in the air and the player has three shots and a limited amount of time to shoot the ducks before they fly away.

Each round only allows a limited number of misses in order to move on successfully.

As the rounds progress, the ducks begin flying faster and faster, and fewer misses are allowed.

In game mode A, a second player can control the movement of the duck using a controller plugged into port 2.

Mode C features target practice on clay pigeons rather than ducks.

The perspective and rules here are the same, with only three shots to destroy two clay pigeons before they disappear off the horizon.

Destroy enough clay pigeons to move on to the next, tougher round.

Duck Hunt for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €10.41 loose, €74.80 complete in box, and €296.26 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Duck Hunt has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Duck Hunt, loose is €10.41 and CIB is €74.80 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Duck Hunt is currently worth €10.41 loose, versus €6.69 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
