Duck Hunt on the NES

Duck Hunt is a title that will throw up many happy memories for gamers of a certain age.

The 1984 Nintendo classic saw players shooting ducks and clay pigeons by aiming a light gun at the screen of their TV and firing.

What many people didn’t realise – even some who spent hours and hours happily shooting away at the screen when they were kids – was that it was actually a two-player game.

Yes, by plugging a regular controller into your NES alongside the gun, a second player could control the ducks.

Who knew?

Not many people, judging by the reaction on Twitter.

All you need to do now is travel back in time and impress your childhood friends with this game-changing bit of information.
