I remember playing Duck Hunt on the first Nintendo when I used to be a kid back in the 80s. Video games and duck hunting games have evolved since they were introduced in the 1970s.
I had so much fun using the tiny gray laser light gun to shoot the ducks when I used to be a kid on my first Nintendo. The graphics on video games now are nearly lifelike, with astounding 3D perspectives and scenes.
Video arcades today have games more advanced than nostalgic duck hunting games. These games cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and sometimes several dollars to play for a few brief minutes.
Most arcades probably would not make much money from a game with such ancient graphics when compared to Time Crisis or other current first person shooter games. It is really sad that the more recent video arcade games focus so much on action and entertainment than just pure fun and amusement like classic arcade games and duck hunting games.
Spending a few dollars to play a video game at a modern day arcade is pretty much the norm today. I still remember playing most video games for only 25 cents although some of the more expensive games cost one dollar at most.
Playing duck hunting games and other Nintendo games when I was younger was alot of fun, but also a huge waste of time. I was so addicted to video games at one point that I rode my bike almost 5 miles on a Sunday to the greatest arcade in the city. It is too bad that the video game in a modern day arcade are so new and expensive compared to the old school video games I grew up with.
I recently sold my Xbox on Ebay and no longer play Nintendo games at all at home. I’ve seen that my friends and brother become so addicted to these video games that it consumes their whole lives and I never want to be a couch potato like that.
I think most computer games are fun and if played in moderation can be particularly entertaining. However, I’m going to only play simple duck hunting games which I can be done with in a couple of minutes and continue on with my daily routine.
