The only thing good about this game was the title tune that plays during loading. Read Review

The graphics are fairly primitive and the zaps, pows and splats (why no quacks?) are less than classic. Read Review

Blah... Just a rather slow game without much in the way of action. Read Review

An amusing and quite original interpretation of an old theme. Read Review

The graphics are quite good... Maybe some people will buy it because it's so cheap. I only buy games if they are worth playing and this certainly isn't. Read Review

I'd say it's a game that will appeal to the youngsters and at £2.50 it's excellent value. Read Review

Introduction | The Game | Game Controls | Loading

Introduction

Farmer Tubby is out to bag a few ducks, and maybe a swan, for his dinner.

His trusty blunderbuss is small comfort against some of the zany hazards and surprises he encounters.

Can you help him? This is the daftest, funniest duck-shoot of them all. A sense of humour is essential!

The Game

The aim is to help Father Tubby, a notoriously bad shot with his blunderbuss, to pot as many flying ducks and swans as possible without getting brained by falling ducks and eggs. Ducks also walk on to the screen at awkward moments. Each wave gets more difficult and if the eggs land and hatch, Farmer Tubby's problems will get worse!
