Is it still worth playing?

You fire the NES Zapper at a CRT television in this 1984 light gun shooter for the Nintendo Entertainment System. You get three attempts to hit one or two targets before they disappear, and each round totals ten. A minimum number has to be hit to move on to the next round, or the game is over, and targets get faster as rounds go on. Points are given for each target, with bonus points for hitting all ten. There are three game modes. In Game A one duck appears at a time and in Game B two do, and in Game C the targets are clay pigeons launched into the distance. Game A also lets a second player control the flying ducks with a controller. A light gun and a flying duck are still all it takes.
