Maybe fairground shooter?

zenox98 · 12 May 2021, 10:47

Hi
Being an old git, I'm having trouble remembering a game name, which I expect was a cabinet/light-gun combo originally.

The little I still remember is that something like a duck/swan etc would pop-up and move across the screen. It would drop down to next level when reaching left/right border, occasionally take flight, and there was possibly other creatures or objects doing the same thing, but without the flight part.

A few things that I thought it could have been are Duck shoot, Carousel etc but they don't look quite right.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Martin

There's a mini-game like this featuring ducks in Back to the Future III.

There's also the hidden game in "Lotus Turbo Challenge 2" i.e: Dux but I'm not sure it's this...

Just a random game that is circus/fair based - Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun?

Sounds like Carnival arcade game to me, especially with the duck. Never saw an Amiga version though.

No not really, but are we sure this was an Amiga game? You being an old git, it could have been on another platform, couldn't it?
