Duck Hunt

NES · 2026

Light-gun classic made playable on PC through NESRecomp's mouse-as-Zapper substitution.

Duck Hunt is one of the ten commercial titles supported by NESRecomp, maintained by the core team. As a light-gun game it needed input hardware that no modern PC has, so the framework substitutes the mouse for the Zapper.

What works today

The game runs as statically recompiled native code through the shared NESRecomp runner, playable with mouse-as-Zapper aiming. Save-state slots are available. Windows x64 is the primary platform; macOS support is experimental.

No game data is distributed; the project builds from your own legally dumped ROM.
