    There was an ad for it online (FOR FREE OMG Thanks playpickle!) when I just signed in here. I remember eventually playing it specifically to shoot that cocky laughing dog.
    Also, every time one of my friends would say it, it literally sounded like "Da Cunt."
    First time I heard him say it I had no idea what he was talking about. I figured it was a weird game the wrestling team made up for the locker room and told him everybody played. The mention of a console dulled that idea, though;
    "Aw, man! You remember playing Da Cunt? I played all the time."
    "What?"
    "Da Cunt! You know, on the NES!"
    "Seriously, I don't remember that game. I don't think anyone does."
    "They packaged it in one cartridge with Super Mario Bros!"
    "Wha...Duck Hunt?"
    "Yeah, Da Cunt!"
    An oddly specific speech impediment.

    Unfortunately the dog was immune to bullets in the original game, however, there was a flash reboot designed specifically to allow you to shoot the smug little bastard.

    Yeah. I know. I was killing that fucking dog only in my mind back then, because it was frustrating that you could not kill that dog.

    That laugh...that cynical laugh. He knew you couldn't touch him, despite that primal need to lash out at the object of your aggression.
    That's actually a reason Sean Connery uses for slapping women. He's more effective at describing it than I am, but essentially;
    If a woman is constantly in your face about an issue you feel is resolved, and she feels she can keep bringing it up simply because she's a woman and you can't lay a hand on her, she gets a slap. Personally, I wouldn't. That's where dad's advice comes into play;
    Ditch the bitch and make the switch.

    It sounds like he was from Boston.

    That was the only thing he said that sounded odd, given he was raised within 5 miles from where I grew up in PA. And I've never heard someone from Boston call it "Da Cunt," unless they were drunk and literally talking about a loose woman.
    I actually found a game called Cunt.

    If you're at all familiar with the works of Edmund McMillan, you'll possibly get this game. Not saying you'll like it. He tends to like drawing dicks and pussies, though he's responsible for the distinctive art style in the indie game, Gish. Also, the flash game Carious Weltling, where you play a decaying bird thing that kills its enemies by vomiting blood.

    Maybe you have an oddly specific hearing impairment.

    Or just a normal obsession with cunts.

    Now that you mention cunt. Did you know that the Band Europe had 'accidently' forgot an o on their Album 'Final Countdown'?

    I do remember the most Adult games for the c64 and for the PC. (and perhaps one or two really forbidden games for the c64) but I never heard of these games. (I am not that familiar with Indie games.)

    ...well, I didn't remember Duck Hunt until just now. So thanks, you bastard.

    ...that dog... oh gods that dog... he laughs at me still... why does he laugh at me? I was just a kid! My aim wasn't that good!

    JUST A KID!

    I hated Duck Hunt. I can't even remember why I played it. I must have only played it because I got sick of Super Mario Bros. Of the modes in Duck Hunt, I hated skeet shooting the least.

    "As a child, I played Duck Hunt to shoot skeet." Have fun with the phonetics there.

    When multiple listeners hear the same thing, it's all on the speaker.

    But being a straight guy, I will concede to having a healthy interest in vagina.

    I don't understand what's going on in that particular game, but I won. My best guess is a full-force rhino-horn maneuver directly at the sphincter.
