Story
The setting is China. You must catch the escaped Pekin Ducks. However, if it escapes into the shadows of trees or mountains, you cannot catch it no matter how much you shoot. There is also one bird that has no substance and is only a figure which you can never catch.
Now, how many Pekin Ducks can you catch?
How to play
When you run the game, you will be asked how many Pekin Ducks will appear, so enter the number you like (if you enter a number that is too small, the game will end before you can do anything, so it is better to enter a number over 100).
Then, the Pekin Ducks and a crosshair will appear, so aim and shoot
To operate, use the D-Pad to move the crosshair in eight directions, and use the A or B button to fire the bullets.
The game is over when the number of Pekin Ducks you entered at the beginning appear on the screen. However, please note that some ducks are already displayed on the screen. When the game is over, press any key to start again.
If you think it’s too easy, you can change the numbers in the MOVE statement on line 270 to move the bird so fast that it doesn’t become a game.
Finally
Recently, there are a lot of magazines that specialize in the Famicom, but I think BEEP, which also covers video games and PC games, is better (seriously).
So please continue to cover Hoppy games, video games, and PC games in a balanced way. Of course, Id like to see more coverage of the Famicom as well…
So please enjoy your time.
Ozidual note
The NES file assumes 100 ducks are chosen so you don’t need the keyboard.
