Back in '85 or '86, my family played this game for the first time at a family-friend's house after a pool party. My dad was blown away and went out and bought the deluxe NES set (with duckhunt and gyromite) for our family. I've been a Nintendo nerd ever since. Thanks dad!
I love the history segments before the games as much as the games themselves, especially with things as interesting as light gun technology. Great work, as always!
I think that is what separates him from other channels. I like watching his videos cause he gives a history lesson, gameplay lesson, and the growth of the video game.
This really felt like a Christmas special. Best episode of the year right at the end. Didn’t know what to expect with duck hunt but it was fascinating and I liked the ending, well done!
When I first saw the thumbnail, I was thinking, "how can you possibly do a deep dive on such a surface level game?" Well not only was I wrong, but you even found a way to "beat" the game as well. Great job, and congrats on making it on the leaderboards.
I love that you worked with a speedrunner for this video and that you were even able to submit your own speedrun for Duck Hunt. The speedrunning community has always been a wonderful place for learning how to beat video games, so it's a lovely fit for this channel. And bravo on your 3rd Place kill screen run!
I love this channel. I feel like I go on a trip 30 years back to the past every single week. It's super nostalgic. The kid in me (that grew up playing all these games) is thankful for these videos.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good of an interview that was? No missed beats, no wasted words, fillers (ums, ers) were absent and the questions were focused. Given your general cadence and smooth delivery, I feel like you have a background in media or at least a natural inclination for this type of work.
Duck hunt was such an iconic part of the nes, first time playing it was when I got my nes, Xmas 89, twas a good Xmas, Happy holidays to whoever reads this.
This was probably the most unorthodox episode but at the same time just as enjoyable as the rest. Between the history of light gun technology and having a world record holder on to tell people the tricks to use it was entertaining but it wasn't until the end that is became legendary when you hit the leaderboards as one of three people to reach the killscreen.
I remember that Christmas where I got the deluxe Nintendo set. Dad setup the unit, and we played Duck Hunt and Gyromite. Thanks for bringing back all those Christmas memories. Keep it up!
This channel feels both timeless like AVGN and super innovative and fresh all at once. I'd say you pioneered this type of genre. This feels like it came out in both 2011 and 2021 at the same time.
This was great. Bringing in a guest speaker for an otherwise repeatitive game was a genius move to make for a great and interesting guide video. Also dug the candle light ambience for the console dark room. As always, phenonmental video presentation decisions!
It was cool hearing your voice in a non-professional 'setting'. Alright, this was a special and awesome video. Good to hear from 'Carter44' in the interview segment. Good video, look foward to seeing more! (Betcha can't do 'Back to the Future'... Challenge issued!)
Such an awesome and simple opening title. The dog is badass too. Not over the top just super well done and right to turn point! Also, these videos or awesome. I’m def subscribing
This was so cool. Loved the tips with Carter and it was nice to relive this game from my childhood. Also it was fun playing with my sister and having the Zapper on the screen and getting yelled at. I am sure many others had similar experiences with their own siblings.
impressive, back the 80's i always thought the game would go on forever so i just played for the ducks going down also my mom was in wheelchair and VERY limited mobility with her body - she was able to shoot a few ducks. without aiming at the screen, now i realized it the light of the sun that caused her to hit cause the sun was shining directly through the window
@@hollyconnelly8871 Gotcha. It looked like a PS character. The character Im referencing is in PS4. Never got to play the others. Looks like I should now. Ty. Happy holidays.
I dig the music that you chose. Especially the Moon theme, makes sense. I also love your dog. Please give that little one scratches behind the ears, and kiss on their little nose. Party on!
Thank you, Merry Christmas, and happy new year. I didn't know duck hunt even had a record. I didn't know it had an end. My dad is a hunter, and back when I got my nes, he wasn't impressed. Then I showed him duck hunt. He used to stay up late after I went to bed, and drink beer and shoot ducks. That's what convinced him we didn't wast so much money on it. Thanks for letting me relive that. I still have an original gray gun, and a newer orange one. The original gray from my first nes is still working smooth. And I keep a couple old tube TV's around just in case.
Love your channel. I've noticed you've done most of my favorite NES games but two of my first: Lode Runner (actually my first) and Solomon's Key. (Probably my favorite).
Several years ago I wrote a short story about the cheerleader from Lollipop Chainsaw game jumping and one of the games she lands in is Duck Hunt where she ends up taking her chainsaw to the dog. To date it's my most popular scene in any story I've written. Hatred for that dog runs deep.
This may have been the easiest video to watch that I have ever seen. I didn't even realize that the video was over when it ended, because I was just enthralled by it. Nicely done, and congrats on the speedrun record! Hopefully, there are more interviews and speedruns to come, as thosey nice elements to add this time around!!
Nice! that's really cool. I really enjoyed the interview with the record holder, and the trick to cheese the game. I feel like an NES advantage controller with a rubber band would be the best way to take advantage of that strategy. Another thought though (kinda technical), but most developers understand the 255 roll over kill screens in games, but for anyone curious about the 99 roll over kill screen seen here: the 6502 CPU in the NES has a "decimal mode", where a byte skips the hex values for math (i.e. normally 9+1=A, and F+1=10 -- but if a game or program puts the CPU into decimal mode, 9+1=10!) The decimal mode made it easier for 6502 assembly programmers to display human readable numbers, but it collapsed the values a byte can hold down to 00-99, instead of 00-FF (0 to 255).
Thanks for the nice Christmas update, you manage to make videos that are useful AND instructive. They're very engaging, this is pure talent to make content for the Internet. And you still have the best casual gamer ever, give him some extra pats from me ;) I thought I knew a lot about Nintendo's history before the NES and lightgun related stuff, but clearly I didn't. Keep up the good work! Happy holidays!! 💗
Duck Hunt is legendary classic 🤣🤣...hey You Can Beat Video Games do you remember a shooter like Duck Hunt titled 'Gotcha' ..it was a paintball shooter stroller similar to some of the levels on Punisher or Bayou Billy ..
I love the channel..I use it to sleep not because its boring (quite the opposite ) the tone of the your voice just puts me to sleep like an asmr video ..that usually means I'll watch your videos multiple times
The game hardly anyone "bought" - great game that was included with the NES when it sold with the light gun in a specific package. Those were the days...getting games included with your console that were arguably some of the best games (top 500 ever available for that console.
Congrats on 3rd place! That was actually a super cool Video. I remember when I was a youngman in Port Arthur, TX we went to a "Showbiz" pizza and they had a big Clay Shooting game. Big projection screen, all that. The one that would eventually come to NES. It was that day, the first video game I ever played, that got me hooked. I've made it to 70 something in Duck Hunt but never made it further than that. Well played sir.
Great video on a well known game! Especially when you cover things about that game that AREN'T well known! It's cool how you incorporate Kylo (I believe that's your dog's name?) Into almost every thumbnail, and this is the best one so far lol
I remember a friend told me that the last round if you beat the game Mario and the dog load all the dead ducks in a truck and they go, I never watched the kill screen and thought it was real, thanks for this info.
Duck hunt was a vicious game but it was fun to play. I remember playing this with my dad and also getting my Nintendo on Christmas. I love how you introduce the games and talk about their history. I think you have a future in voiceover work. Thank you for making Saturday mornings great again. I hope you talk about the power glove soon.
As a kid, I had the NES + lightgun. One day when I was playing Duck Hunt, I somehow came across a bug(?), where I could hold the light gun against the TV screen at a specific spot, and it would register a hit. I managed to get up to lvl 98 this way, I ended up losing the spot and was never able to recreate the "bug" again.
I love guess the background music you pick. I Surprise I know most, if not all, songs . Another great video . Didn’t think I’d ever see an ending to this
Bro.. All I can say is impressive research man.. week in and week out you continue to fascinate me! I appreciate it thank you so much. And Merry christmas too brother
This was awesome! My favorite parts of your show are when you talk about the games and stuff (as opposed to just playing the game) and this was a rare treat! :D Plus Carter seems like a genuinely cool guy. (Also, I thought we were supposed to assume the cool doggo was playing these games all this time and we actually kind of saw your face a little in this episode!)
I loved those gun games...I played Gum Shoe until my fingers bled :D ...and Duck Hunt too...I still have the music jingle in my ear and the dog's laugh :)
I agree with the people complimenting the history section, especially this time. Early on I complained a bit by how slow the pacing of the history segments seemed, but it feels oh so subtly better now. Good job as always!
Holy Hell! Congratulations on beating Duck Hunt, and being only 1 of 3. That took time, patience, and a hell of a lot of skill to complete.. I couldn't even imagine. Thank you for the content. Merry Christmas YCBVG. And a Happy New Year
How to ruin your eye sight; Sit about 5-6- feet away from a 24" CRT in a pitch black room with the brightness, contrast, and sharpness turned up to max. Myopia should start forming within 1 month. :P Seriously though, amazing episode. Really like the interview, that was a golden idea. Keep it classy dude, looking forward to the next episode.
Great video! It was full of nice surprises including a special guest. Thanks so much this made my holiday weekend extra special. I hope you had a great Christmas and holidays too
Well made and entertaining video pal. I’m enjoying the old school console-classics videos you’ve done. 8 bit sonic, action fighter & golden axe warrior for SMS would all make great video subjects. 👌🏻
I used to get so far in Spy Hunter that there would be no enemies and it seemed to have an endless road after that, so I would just turn it off. Now I wonder what would have happened if I had just let it go for a little longer.
One day, when I was playing this game growing up, I noticed that if I put the gun against the upper left spot on the TV at point blank range, it would hit the duck regardless of where it was on the screen, and I actually reached the kill screen! I had no idea that's what it was at the time (until this video, actually) - I thought the game just glitched out. It only worked that one time, so I'm not sure what was going on with it. Anyways, great video, love the channel!
Awesome choice. Another classic with more going on under-the-hood than one would likely know! Great counterpart the Super Mario Bros. episode. Good to see you expanding the format.
Technically the 2600 did have a light gun. The XG-1, which was developed for the XE not the 7800, also worked with the 2600. Only one 2600 light gun game was released, Sentinel, and it came out after Duck Hunt.

Back in '85 or '86, my family played this game for the first time at a family-friend's house after a pool party. My dad was blown away and went out and bought the deluxe NES set (with duckhunt and gyromite) for our family. I've been a Nintendo nerd ever since. Thanks dad!
Your pops sounds like a good man
That's kind of funny, I remember vividly the first time I saw NES and Super Mario Bros., at a pool party at my Aunt's.

Technically Nikola Tesla discovered electric energy transfer in 1900. This is light energy. So the tech already existed from what he created then.
This alone made me sub to this channel a few minutes into the vid this is so cool
I just left a comment saying the exact opposite the title should have said a long boring history of light guns

Good way to get publicity but dont be so down on yourself.. maybe eventually youll hit 7 viewers

Nice, dude! Congrats on being 1 out 3 in history to do it. If I ever get an NES again, a 24-inch CRT TV, and Duck Hunt, I'll give it a shot.

I used to get so far in Spy Hunter that there would be no enemies and it seemed to have an endless road after that, so I would just turn it off. Now I wonder what would have happened if I had just let it go for a little longer.
Congratulations to you on the achievement! Great work and great video. This is so appropriate for the holiday season!
