Take a look at these two games here. Go ahead, check them out! We have Hogan's Alley there on the left, and Duck Hunt on the right. Can you see any differences between them? I mean sure, Hogan's Alley has this strangely happy-lookin' cop holding a standard issue blue hippie-beater, and Duck Hunt has the goddamned hunting dog there looking way cuter than he ever does in the actual game, they are different games yeah yeah. But really look at them!


Despite all the comments you could make about the slightly different purple tones, the vibrant quality of the printing, or the glossiness of the boxes, the one thing you'd probably never ever figure out, even with the things right there in your hands, is that Hogan's Alley is "new," and Duck Hunt is not new. How do I know? Well, I don't know exactly. When I bought them, I was told they were new. They sure look new! But I opened Duck Hunt to look at the manual, so I know it's not new anymore. I never opened Hogan's Alley! So it must be new. If you didn't know if it was new or not, and I told you Duck Hunt was new, would you believe me? You'd probably have to just take my word for it. And why is that?
