One hand on the pump, the other on the trigger, you have to use both to aim if you want the shot to land on target, then it’s simply a case of shooting ducks out of the sky as they fly by. The mechanics are satisfying which makes it a treat to play. This shotgun needs to be pumped, reloaded and carefully aimed if you want to succeed. Doing so throws you into a virtually recreated marshland with a pump-action shotgun and a whole lotta duck killing to be done. The real fun begins when you blow off the dust and insert the Duck Season cartridge into the Kingbit Entertainment System. As you play over the course of the day, it becomes apparent something is different about this game as strange and spooky events begin to unfold.
We grabbed a few and started stuffing them into the Kingbit gaming machine. These classically styled cartridges are a relic of an older age of gaming that most modern kids wouldn’t even know what to do with – but we did. But the real interest lies in the multitude of playable 8-bit games scattered about the room. Other items in the room can also be grabbed, prodded and tossed around, including everything from light snacks to magazines, toys, picture frames and more. Various videotapes are scattered about the room that you can put into the VHS player, too, including amusingly styled trailers and hilarious adverts from the era. There’s all sorts here, including the main focus of the action – the fuzzy old tube television that’s the hub of the living room and where the good times happen. Standing in his living room, you’re surrounded by a multitude of Easter eggs and interactive items that are sure to fill you with nostalgic joy.
Starting up the game you’re thrown back in time into 1988, right into the body of a small boy who’s just become the proud owner of the new Kingbit Entertainment System. So we were pleasantly surprised when we realised just how much more Duck Season has to offer. A wonderfully fun way to relive a gaming classic from our youth. We were initially intrigued by Duck Season because we’d seen the duck shooting gallery and assumed that it would be a blast.
