1.02 - Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Everyone knows this game as a fun and simple shooter that made use of one of
the NES' popular accessories, the Zapper Gun. In it, you progress by shooting
the required amount of ducks or clay pigeons. However, you must do it within a
time limit and also be careful not to use up all your bullets! Since its
original release on the NES, it has also became a pack-in title with Super
Mario Bros. and World Class Track Meet, and it is a title that will provide a
good bit of fun if you have a go on it!

2. Game Overview
===============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.01 - Controls
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NES Controller
--------------

Zapper Gun
----------

2.02 - Basics
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[ Title Screen ] -------------------------------------------------------------
GAME A - 1 DUCK - This is the easiest of the three game types that you
play. In Game A, the dog will flush out one duck at
a time, and for each duck that flies out, you have
three shots with which to hit it from the Zapper
Gun. Ducks of various colours fly out; the points
scored varies on the kind of duck shot, as well as
which round number you have progressed to. The
further you progress (i.e. higher the round number),
the quicker the ducks fly and less time you are
given to shoot them, so it will test your reflexes!
You have to shoot the number of ducks underlined on
the Hit meter at the bottom-centre of the screen.
GAME B - 2 DUCKS - Twice the ducks, twice the difficulty. This is
played under the same rules as Game A, however you
have three shots to hit two ducks at a time with,
meaning you can only afford to miss once if you're
going for both ducks.
GAME C - CLAY SHOOTING - In this mode, you play in an empty field and you
will hear 2 beeps. Two clay pigeons will soar high
up for you to shoot at, and there are 10 in total
(five sets of clay pigeons launched per round). Like
in Games A and B, enough clay pigeons must be shot
in order to progress to the next round.
[ Game Screen ] --------------------------------------------------------------
Round Number - Shown at the bottom left corner of the screen, above the Shot
meter. This is pretty much self-explanatory; the number
represents which round you are in. You begin in Round 1, and
the number goes up by 1 after successfully completing a round.
One round consists of 10 ducks to try to shoot down - in Game
A it is one duck at a time, in Game B it is two ducks at once
(so five sets of two ducks per round). In Game C, you have two
clay pigeons to shoot at, and two come out at a time, so
that's five sets of clay pigeon pairs per round.
Shot - The number of bullets shown in the bottom left corner, beneath
the Round Number counter. You have three bullets per set of
ducks/clay pigeons to shoot.
Hit - Seen at the bottom centre of the screen. There are ten white
ducks/clay pigeons, and underneath them is a line indicating
the amount that need to be hit in order for you to progress to
the next round. For every duck/clay pigeon that is hit, one of
the icons at the bottom of the screen turns red. If you can
get the same amount, or more, red ducks/clay pigeons as
indicated by the line below, you go through to the next round.
Score - The score you have achieved in your current sitting of Duck
Hunt. See below for a table of points values for shooting
ducks, clay pigeons and getting a perfect round in the game.

3. Cheat Codes & Secrets
===============================================================================
[ Cheats ] -------------------------------------------------------------------
Scattered Aim
-------------
If you happen to have a magnifying glass handy, you can hold it up and aim the
Zapper to shoot through the lens, which causes the infra-red beams to scatter,
very much increasing your chances of hitting the target.
[ Glitches ] -----------------------------------------------------------------
Frozen Targets
--------------
During any game, use Controller 1 to pause the game, then resume it. The
targets will stay frozen for a couple of seconds after you resume the game, so
you can quickly get an easy shot in.
[ Secrets ] ------------------------------------------------------------------
Control Flight of Ducks
-----------------------
Controller 1 can actually control the ducks' flight pattern in Game A with the
use of the D-Pad! This can make for enjoying the game with another player, if
one controls the ducks and the other tries to shoot them down.
