YES! I want payback!
No. I accept responsibility for my own marksmanship.
I wouldn't mind shooting the dog, but whatever.
Lighten up, man. It's just a joke.
Do you dislike the Duck Hunt Dog?
Him:
It seems that so many in the retrogaming community have an ax to grind with the Duck Hunt dog. Of course, it could just be that people are simply looking to make an easy and easy to relate to joke when they talk or write about longing to shoot the dog for all the times he laughed at them over the years. How do you feel about him?

In the arcade version, you can kill the dog.
Also, there is a flash based game where your objective is to kill the dog.

It always made me mad that Nintendo altered the game from the Playchoice 10 version to the NES. Shooting the dog at the arcades was classic. Nintendo's censoring of games was sickening.
The dog and I have made our peace a long time ago.

The only time I really see the dog laugh is at game over screens where his laughter is muted, so he doesn't get my goat at all. When I went to the trouble of playing Double Duck Hunt with two television, two Nintendos, and two zappers I wish he would have cut me some slack, though.
Why would you want to shoot a dog? Thats what zombies, aliens, nazis and Osama Bin Laden are for.

If you pop in your SNES cartridge and look more closely, you will clearly see that they are rats and not dogs, Gameguy.
If the dog was a poodle, then yes, I would love to empty a magazine into said mutt. What an ugly, worthless breed.

It always made me mad, man. But in the arcade version, you can kill the dog.
haha...I'm still visited nighty by the vivid memory of his mocking laughter...how he haunts my soul.

As far as the Playchoice 10 goes, all their games are essentially NES roms on a different board modded for the arcade, and were 1:1 ports of the NES versions. The VS. version of Duck Hunt is the one you're thinking about.
Don't go away mad....just go away!
I'm 100% positive that Gameguy is talking about the original DOS version, not the censored SNES port

I struggle to imagine anyone who uses Guybrush Threepwood as their avatar picture ever playing anything other than console games.
Is that what that avatar is? It looks feminine and I thought is was some 1920's picture of a woman.
Monkey Island is MAGIC. The Secret of Monkey Island gave me some of the best video game memories I have. I have yet to play through the remakes of 1 & 2, however, proving what a lousy Monkey Island fan I am.
I've never missed in Duck Hunt, so no.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
Odd, I've never heard of anyone limiting their gaming to just consoles. Most gamers and collectors have at least one classic computer like the C64, Apple II, TRS-80,etc. Not to mention DOS/Windows/Mac PC's of the last 20 years. Some of the best games of all time were originally computer based. Monkey Island is a perfect example.

I'm just cutting the fool with you, Atarileaf.
Now there's an idea for a romhack.
