For your information, GAME in the north sells retro games machines and games. i heard a NES with games and Duck Hunt and gun goes for around £20 sterling. Id pay that no problem, but i dont really have the time or willpower to make a trek to Belfast just to do it.
GAME in dublin has no plans whatsoever to sell retro games, and even their branch on Dawson St has stopped selling Dreamcast games.

oh what a world,

Personally, I get my retro gaming fixes from ebay, and swear by it. Alternatively you might try the Buy & Sell, the Wanted board or look up some Car Boot sales or computer fairs in your area.

Not strictly answering your question, I know, but I'm not that familiar with Dublin. Good luck sourcing Duck Hunt!

Gamezone, Talbot Street.

(PS I got Duck Hunt for 29 cents in Boston a few months ago). Still have an old NES with 30 games.
