Play Shooting Range Online

Shooting Range came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989, a time when the light gun accessory was a popular novelty. It was developed and published by Nintendo, offering a straightforward arcade style experience that felt right at home on the console. You just plugged in your Zapper, pointed it at the screen, and were ready to go without any complicated menus or story setup.

You control a targeting reticle, shooting at clay discs that fly across the screen from various angles and speeds. The main objective is simply to hit as many targets as possible before time runs out, with stages set in a wild west town, a haunted house, and a space environment for visual variety. The core mechanics involve leading your shots on faster moving targets and dealing with occasional obstacles or false targets that can cost you points. The pacing starts deceptively calm but quickly escalates into a frantic test of reflexes, especially on the higher difficulty settings where misses are punished severely. It feels like a pure, demanding test of aim and focus.
