Notes
"If you like taking pot shots at those bobbing ducks and targets you find in fairground shooting galleries you'll enjoy this game. The object is to shoot down as many targets within one minute as you can. Each target is worth 100 points — and if you shoot down all nine you'll be rewarded with a 500 point bonus and another crack at the game. However, each time you win an extra go the time limit gets shorter. The targets are represented by the numbers 1-9. They appear at random among a "battlefield" of blocks. If you hit a block with a blast from your laser gun instead of a target number you will lose 10 points — and valuable time. Once one target is hit another appears to take its place until you have destroyed all nine. Your score and the high score are displayed throughout the game. You'll be hooked from the moment you start blasting away — those targets have an annoying habit of avoiding you!"
