Rabbit Shoot

Phipps Associates has a good name for producing quality adventure games. Rabbit Shoot is for the 16K machine, and definitely breaks that.

You are a poacher and your task is to shoot as many rabbits as possible, whilst they hop around the enclosure. But there is a time limit, for after about two minutes the warden appears out of nowhere and catches you.

Within the game itself, you are represented by a small cross that shoots funny shaped fireballs. If you miss the rabbit at which you were aiming, it will disappear for a second or two.

Unfortunately, Rabbit Shoot definitely does not live up to the normal high standard expected of Phipps Associates. Though worse has been seen, this game is dull and uninteresting.
