Shooting Gallery Games

The controls for the Game Modes 13-15 - the Shooting Gallery games - are a combination of the Anti-Aircraft and Torpedo games, as you can not only move left and right, but you can also aim at three different angles. Left and Right on the joystick let you move left and right like in the Torpedo Games, while Up and Down allow you to aim at different angles just like in the Anti-Aircraft games.

In these games, you'll be shooting three types of targets: rabbits, ducks and clown faces. The rabbits are worth three (3) points, the ducks are worth two (2) points, and the clown faces are worth one (1) point. By clearing the screen of targets, a new set of targets will pop up. The targets will move either left or right, and they can change direction at any time. 

Game Mode 13

This is the standard Shooting Gallery game. Once you fire in any direction, your bullet will continue to travel in that direction.

Game Mode 14

This mode is the same as Game Mode 13, but you also have guided shots. You can control the angle of the shots with Up and Down on the joystick, much like with the guided missiles in the Anti-Aircraft games. Moving the joystick left or right will have no effect on your shot.

Game Mode 15

This is the player vs. computer mode for the Shooting Gallery games. The computer controls the gun on the left and fires endlessly, while the human player controls the gun on the right with a joystick in Controller Port 2 in order to compete against the computer-controller player.
