If you happen to be a classic gamer and an Apple iPhone or iTouch user who’s looking for those classic games for the device, you’ll be saddened to hear that the ‘Duck Hunt’ game has been pulled down from the App Store.

The game, by request of Nintendo, has been removed as the company is claiming copyright infringement. According to reports from MacWorld, Lucas Mansfield the App Store version game’s developer was asked to pull it down. The original game was developed by Lawl Mart for Nintendo. According to the report, an email was sent across to Mansfield urging him to pull it down.


Having complied, obviously as the game doesn’t exist anymore on the AppStore, Mansfield has decided to re-work the game, while trying to be as close to the original by Nintendo but editing out the more offending graphics and sounds the original AppStore version had embedded.

The AppStore version was priced at $0.99 cents which works out to about Rs. 48. Let’s hope the newer version won’t be costlier.
