Well, here we go with another video game to properly procrastinate. “Duck Hunter”, originally a coin-operated arcade cabinet arcade game created in 1973 by Midway Manufacturing Co. , is now an emulated version available on most of the fast-running web-runners. It operates in which you use the Nintendo Zapper Light Gun and attempt to shoot down either ducks or play pigeons in mid-flight with atmospheric digitized voice, images and music. Therefore, the modern emulation of the game cut off the use of zapper gun with simply the mouse, drastically putting the game in its greatest endangerment by eliminating its crucial features such as shooting accuracy, playability and its atmospheric gaming environment.
This exhibit seeks to point out some though-provoking moments that showcase the hardships preserving the “Duck Hunter” and its debate on which features are the most essential to preserve.
