I had Duck Hunt but didn't have the gun to play it with - nor the knowledge that I needed the gun. Every now and then I would try and fail to figure out how to play the game.

So to me, Duck Hunt is a game about a dog that laughs at you.

This must have been a common thing, because you're the 2nd person in the comments to mention this!

It's funny now to think that if you couldn't figure out a game pre-internet, you just didn't get to play it. I know that happened to me plenty.

(edit: curse you, Batman on Sega Genesis!)

We had tons of pirated Commodore 64 games. Some single-player games became two-player with my little brother; "OK, I'll drive the car while you try every key on the keyboard."
