10 Game Over Screens That Pissed You Off The Most

7. Duck Hunt

Duck Hunt is an iconic light-gun shooter that's arguably best remembered these days for the PTSD-administering laugh delivered by the Duck Hunt Dog, who mocks the player whenever they fail to shoot any ducks.

The sound effect is embedded deep into the psyche of anyone who has ever played Duck Hunt, but the dog's presence only becomes more enervating when you reach a Game Over screen and the dog pops up for another couple of laughs while you're soaking in your failure.

Though the Game Over music thankfully means you're not forced to suffer through that sound effect again, the smug canine chucklehead laughing hysterically at your lack of progress has nevertheless resulted in a landfill's worth of broken NES controllers over the decades.
