RE: Emotional Video Game Moments: The Rage of Duck Hunt [Gaming]
In the arcade version of Duck Hunt, you actually can shoot the dog! It'll hobble out on crutches, all bandaged up, and berate you for hitting it and not the ducks. Like it honestly believes you did it by accident... :D
As much as I would have loved to shoot that dog, I'm pretty sure that game bombed at the arcades. Once you got to shoot the dog, the player could finally feel gratified knowing that they no longer needed to feed the game anymore quarters.
One arcade game that always frustrated the hell out of me, and ate all my quarters was that damn Dragon's Lair game. I felt like a game tester, watching the same animated screen over and over, and then getting an instant game over moments later, every time, expecting a different results if I just timed my action differently. That game was as clear as mud in regards to how to play it it, and when to hit the button. The cartoon graphics, audio, and music were just too amazing to ignore though.
