Video Game and Comic Book Of The Week

VIDEO GAME OF THE WEEK

DUCK HUNT


Nothing like getting back to the basics.  Duck Hunt was a game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System.  In this game, you would use a zapper like gun and shoot either a duck or a pigeon as they fly across the screen.

This game was so popular that even today after all these years people still reminisce about this classic title.  I remember playing this game in my doctor's office.  He would have an NES in his waiting room and I would always run right to the TV and play.  Though I'm not much of a hunter, I still loved to play this game because everyone does.

COMIC BOOK OF THE WEEK

AMAZING FANTASY #15



Because this is somewhat of a retro kind of day, lets feature Amazing Fantasy #15.  This is another classic title in the world of comic books.  Amazing Fantasy was a comic book series that was not too popular.  Most of the stories were a bit boring.  Except one issue.  Amazing Fantasy #15 features the debut of Spider-Man!

The story talks about how young Peter Parker gets his spider powers and how he tries to use them for good.  It includes the death of Uncle Ben and when Peter attempts to be a professional wrestler.  The issue talks about how Peter takes the blame for his Uncle Ben's death.  This issue was so popular that Stan Lee decided to make it a real series, obviously   Since then, Spider-Man has been a house hold name and extremely popular!
