Was my television particularly slow? I noticed the blackened screen and white rectangles around the ducks as a kid, but the article says "you don't notice" the blackout and the white rectangles. Surely many of you noticed this as kids.
- talmand 14y agoI recall seeing the flash as well. I go the opposite route explaining it though: my TV was fine, it was just that my eyes were that good!
- peeters 14y agoI definitely saw it, but it might have been the same way that the image of a bright light is burned into your vision for a short time.
- kronholm 14y agoIf I remember correctly, I saw it too. But it was kind of camouflaged to look like the effect of shooting the gun.
- Ntrails 14y agoYes, I seem to recall that there was a 'flash' effect when shooting but it never occurred to me it might be to do with the gun working - just thought it was intended for effect.
- 0x0 14y agoThis is a testament to great design and engineering, turning around an otherwise ugly technical requirement to kind of a neat effect in itself :)
- pyre 14y agoI remember noticing that too, but figured that the box around the duck was an artifact of the flash. It's not like there weren't games where sprites got corrupted on screen.
