Quick trigger jingles and tense silence. This Game Sound Museum collection bundles three NES light gun games together: Wild Gunman, Duck Hunt, and Hogan's Alley. All the sounds of pointing a plastic gun at your TV in the mid-80s.

"FIRE!!" and "YOU WON" from Wild Gunman are these punchy little victory stabs that hit different when you remember how satisfying nailing a draw was. Duck Hunt's "Duck Get!" and "Perfect" jingles are burned into the brains of anyone who owned a Zapper.
Hogan's Alley's "Demo BGM" has more melodic content than you'd expect from a target practice game. Most of these are sound effects and fanfares rather than full songs, but together they paint a complete picture of early NES audio design.
If you ever want to feel the ghost of that orange Zapper in your hand again, just hit play.
