I am one month older than Duck Hunt. It was first released in Japan on April 21, 1984 and that means we’re both pretending like we’re still 29 until our younger brother, Contra, catches up and becomes our “older” brother. Duck Hunt and I look way too good to be 32.

So good in fact, my mom still has the original NES we used to play as kids. Every Thanksgiving, which is the only time me and my siblings seem to be in the same state at the same time, we dust off the old NES, blow into the Duck Hunt cartridge a few times, and then battle for supremacy. Sometimes we even make a tournament chart and things get heated fast, especially since we’re older now and switched out our root beer floats for Not Your Father’s Root Beer Floats. My poor, only child, husband wasn’t ready for our level of competitiveness when I first brought him home to Indiana. And he thought the laughing dog was bad
