Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you - Duck Hunt.
Duck hunt is the most representative game on Nintendo's Zapper and one of the most popular NES games ever, and that is why it has a secured cult status through references in numerous films, TV series, magazines and other video games. It came out in 1984 in Japan and, a year later, sailed on American soil where it gained unprecedented popularity and made a good foundation for sales in Europe, which began in 1987. Regardless of the different dates of release, Duck Hunt was equally accepted and popular in all countries of the world, and the fact that it was the only game fully functional with the Nintendo Zapper ensured its good sale.
The concept of the game was simple - Aim with the zapper and shoot the ducks. Shoot 10 ducks and you finished the level. The challenge was adapted to children's reflexes and to get used to functionality of the Nintendo Zapper. You could also play with a friend, who controlled the ducks with the standard NES controller.
Levels went to number 99, after which followed the deadly level 0 which was designed so that an error in the game limited the further progress of the player. It was the end of the game, which didn't really decrease the popularity of Duck Hunt, a title that many renowned magazines and portals put in their top games of the Nintendo Entertainment System lists.

And again, would the remastered version of Duck Hunt work? Absolutely, with some changes being made to fit today's gaming scene. I can totally see myself waving around with a plastic gun yelling at the screen "I AIMED AT THE DUCK...LAG"

Glad to hear! The rewind feature is a great idea, but, unfortunately, we rejected it in the early stages of development. Not sure if it was the right decision : )
Your article helps with understaning what impression the game makes. Thanks and good luck you too with your efforts!

Thank you for the compliment, I have enjoyed this brain-teaser quite a bit, well done! Curious to see what those ideas will be, I'm hoping one of them to be the rewind feature. Good luck for the launch!

Thank you. I'm sure you could probably tell from reading the article, but Out of Sight is a game that feels particularly personal for me, partly due to my state while playing it, but also because I had been waiting for a Prey sequel for years and will likely be waiting forever.
I hope I was able to keep my objectivity - I tried!
I would love to return to Prey sometime for a review.
I'll have to see if I can track down a copy when I'm done with my current projects.

As someone who also loved the original Prey but tried hard and failed to enjoy the 2017 release (not a bad game, just not for me), I thought this article was really well written. Maybe one day you'll consider doing a retro review of the original?

UPDATE: There are now 100 products in the Trove. Of course, the majority of these are smaller or novelty titles, as there's no way to purchase OP points and fraud up to now basically cut away the little profit we made from things like quests or ads, they're essentially reskinned giveaways, so there's only so much we can list for "purchase" there.
The store will include both Trove and standard products, so is the place to look for any more premium games you might want - but again, as per the article, this is majorly being stripped back and will hold limited titles moving forward.September 20, 2023 -

The Trove had already been cut back, the store is where the bulk of the work needs to be done as this can't be done automatically like we could with the Trove.
That said, we expect to be able to add more to the Trove once the store work has been completed so it should actually increase a little.
