Duck Hunt
NES · 2026
Duck Hunt as a native PC build, with the mouse standing in for the Zapper.
Duck Hunt needs hardware most modern setups do not have: the Zapper light gun and a CRT television.
This NESRecomp build hands that job to your mouse. Move to aim, click to shoot.
Playable status
Yes. A Windows build is on GitHub Releases. It is built from a dump you provide, the World version.
The title screen and all three game modes work, along with duck flight, hit detection, scoring, the dog's animations, and round progression.
What the recomp adds
The mouse stands in for the Zapper. Moving aims, left click pulls the trigger, and a crosshair marks your aim point.
The light-gun behavior is modeled closely enough that the game still responds through its original checks.
