Geocache Description:


THE CACHE

The theme of this year's Cache Ba$h is FUN AND GAMES.  This geocache is one of 66 caches placed for the 2022 West Bend $1,000 Cache Ba$h, with this cache highlighting the game of DUCK HUNT.  You're looking for an ammo can size cache that is located just off the Riverfront Parkway Trail.  There are several new caches placed along this trail.  Closest parking is in the small lot to the east at N 43° 25.515 W 088° 09.703.  You could also park in the south lot farther away at N 43° 25.060 W 088° 10.254 if you have two cars with a group and plan on finding them all along the trail (see map).  If doing them all at the Cache Ba$h with cars at both ends we’d recommend starting from the south side of the park and heading north.

THE GAME

Duck Hunt is one of the original hunting video games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).  Introduced in 1984, the objective is to shoot moving targets (flying ducks) on the television screen in mid-flight.   The player receives points upon shooting each duck. If the player shoots the required number of flying ducks in a single round, the player will advance to the next round; otherwise, the player will receive a game over.

Duck Hunt has three different game modes to choose from. In "Game A" one duck at a time appears in a woodland area, and in "Game B" two ducks appear at the same time.  In "Game C" the targets are clay pigeons that are launched away from the player's perspective into the distance. The gameplay starts at Round 1 and may continue up to Round 99. 

A very popular arcade version launched about the same time, and many other game systems have created similar games of their own.  Duck Hunt is ranked 24th in GamesRadar’s "The best NES games of all time."

We hope you enjoy your geocaching adventures! smileysmiley
