While I normally played the Super Mario Bros part of the Super Mario Duck Hunt cartridge, plugging in the Zapper and shooting those little ducks and clay targets was a good diversion from the norm. It ended up giving us a pretty likable Smash Bros character too, which is funny considering that dog was anything but likable in the game he came from.
This is one of the first games that amazed as a child, mainly because of the technology behind it. It showed me what gaming could be. The gameplay is quite simple, but very fun. It's one of those classic games we can still play nowadays and have fun, but its arcady nature makes it so it's hard to play for more than a dozen minutes.
As far as mode A is the most known, it seems to me that mode C is the most pleasant, since the curves of the clay plateaus are completely predictable. In contrast, mode B is particularly erratic with very dry movements. There is a slight delay in the hitscan (the screen turns black and a white rectangle verifies that the shot hits). Besides, if the technology is particularly innovative for the video game of this time, a sad repetition quickly sets in and we can regret the absence of elements in the background that would give life to the title.
