The author of this game has declared war on vultures, for a change. You are a gamekeeper sat in a punt in the middle of a lake. You are armed with a shot gun and must prevent the swarms of vultures from stealing the fish. You aim the gun by moving a set of cross hairs so that it either points at or brings into line of sight the unfortunate avian of your choice. A touch of the fire button sends a cloud of shot through the air, disintegrating your victim.

You start with a fixed number of fish and the game ends when all have been stolen. Inevitably, as the game progresses, the attacks become faster and more furious. If you survive long enough, you get a bonus fish which is delivered by a family of ducks, moving across the lake making the sound of a motorboat (whatever next?).

Graphically the game is very nice with a colourful country scene. The birds are nicely animated and move convincingly. Soundwise, rather ordinary.

Not a bad game, but it depended on endurance more than skill. I soon became bored with it.
