Bug Report For Nintendo’s Duck Hunt

ISSUE #0056
TYPE: Game logic problem
SEVERITY: 4.5

Shooting at dog during laughing animation cycle will cause dog’s head to explode and for dog to then die. Inexplicable copy of dog then leaps up from grass and proudly holds up original headless dog above its head as in standard “Good Shot” routine. Copy can be then shot as well, and second inexplicable copy will hold up both first copy and original stacked above his head. Second copy can then be shot, third copy appears and holds up other three corpses, and this cycle can be continued almost indefinitely (after half an hour of continual shooting of dogs, Famicom RAM will run out of memory and console will crash).
