This game overall is widely remembered for a few reasons. One of the most prominent is that it was a pack-in for most releases of the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, for even more versions than ''Super Mario Bros''. Eventually the two were combined into one cartridge to be the pack-in game. It was also remembered for the Zapper Light Gun that was required to play, being perhaps the most popular light gun created. It set the standard for making home light gun games for ages.

''Duck Hunt'' is a shooting game for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem; it came either on its own or as a twofer with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' (or as a threefer with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' and ''World Class Track Meet'', though that version is rarer than the others.) The game's concept actually began with a [[http://blog.beforemario.com/2012/09/nintendo-kousenjuu-duck-hunt-1976.html projector-and-light-gun toy]] produced by Creator/{{Nintendo}} before their video game-making days. Eight years later, it was made into the NES game as it's known today.

* LesserStar: Aside from the dog, this game is largely remembered for being the ''other'' game that came bundled with the NES, with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' being the main star. Usually in the same cart.
