Game Info

Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and prove your skill at hitting targets in this

challenging carnival shooting gallery. Authentic carnival music and gallery

sounds set the mood as you build up your score with good aim and a careful

choice of targets. But watch out for the bullet-eating ducks! Once you clear

the gallery, you get a chance at hitting a special bear target for extra points.

The game ends when the player fires the last bullet.

Strategy

- Ducks bite the bullets! A duck may fly down from the bottom row and eat ten
of your bullets. Knock out the pipes early in the game. If any pipes
remain on the wheel while you are hitting the moving targets, ducks, ducks, and
more duck start coming out!

- Score extra points or bullets by hitting the Plus-Minus target at left. But look out!
If the minus sign is on when the target is hit, the points or bullets shown are
subtracted from your total.

- Spell the word "BONUS" in the correct order and you win the bonus points shown
below the word at right.

- The longer you take to knock out all the targets, the faster the targets will move!
- Hit two pipes of the same color with two consecutive shots to get four times
the pipe score value.

-Each time you hit the bear, you receive 50 points.


Skill level 2

Well unofficial until I can get my new camera to 'talk' to my 'old' computer but I got a score of 80,340 (and the picture sucks - OK not the picture but the darn RF connection :( - I need a av modded coleco from doubledown...). I've been waiting a few weeks until a game I was decent at came up to join in the contest.

that picture is pretty bad are you using a RF box thing ??? the gold plated adapters that turn yout RF cable to a coaxial connection work great my coleco's picture is really good using just that.

the little adapter things can be bought at radio shack for around 3-4 bucks

Well I tried a couple of things that didn't work to well and then I remembered that I could switch to the other channel :roll: and WOW much better picture. Got a 79970 score but that doesn't do me any good.

One of my favourite ColecoVision games - perhaps it's because it's a game I'm quite good at (for a change). Anyway, got in the zone and managed to get 85,580 before an army of ducks filled the screen and my bullets ran out.
