Turkey Shoot
Since Thanksgiving is coming, this would be a good time to review
Turkey Shoot! It is not every game that allows you to battle turkeys. But
these birds have gone bad and it is your job to stop their criminal ways!
And you thought Chicken Run was crazy?
Description
Turkey Shoot, 1984, Manufacturer: Williams, Standup Shooting Coin-Operated Video Game
The game featured a gun that would move an aiming point on the screen. This gun
is similar to the Tron control stick. The object was to shoot turkeys attempting
to rob stores. After you would shoot the turkeys, they would momentarily turn into
a turkey dinner. A unique thing about the game was at the end of the level, actual
turkey feathers would fly up between the protective plexi glass and the CRT.
This is another of the light gun games. But on the computer, you use the mouse
to move around and the control key to shoot. You also can throw grenades and
make a turkey call, which freezes them momentarily. You get one grenade and
gobble per level. While you may think that you are only dealing with regular
turkeys, that is far from the case - this is a turkey gang, not to be trusted.
There are also dive bombing turkeys and robot turkeys as well as the thug turkey.
These gobblers are robbing banks and causing all kinds of havoc and only you can
halt their fowl ways.
Cabinet Information
The cabinet is light blue with a picture of a gun blasting a turkey to feathers.
The marquee has the same color, but there are some turkey feathers flying on it.
Game Introduction
Game was designed by John R. Newcomer. Software by Thomas N. Dreaux and
Wayne P. Breivogel. Graphics by Chris L. Simmons and Jill Chittenden. The game has
an animated front glass. Constructed with two panes of glass, with a vent on top,
and an inlet on the bottom. The inside of front glass has feathers in it, that blow
around via a fan. The inlet is controlled by a moving plastic valve via a pinball
solenoid. The gun has a plunger and lights for effect when it is fired. It makes
turkey gobble, gun, typematic type noises and sounds. The game was made in limited
qualities.
Game Play
The game's object is to help make a town's streets safe again. You must use your gun
to shoot the turkeys and use the grenades to blow them up. The gobble button makes
the turkey gobble. Once you have completed a mission, feathers fly around the screen,
and you move on to next mission.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
(Turkeys gone bad! And you thought killer tomatoes were dangerous.)
But the streets are not just full of turkeys. There are also innocent people who
need to be saved. Besides saving them, you must also avoid shooting them. Shoot
a person and you cause a fowl. Three fowls and you lose. Also letting a turkey
carrying money to escape will cause a fowl, so keep them corralled.
The graphics are simple, but fun. Shoot a turkey and he becomes a stuffed bird
(not the taxidermist kind, but the kind you would find on a dinner table). They
run around with their weapons and look pretty cute, for rampaging turkeys. The
game greets you will a gobble and the sound is pretty decent. Unlike many of the
MAME lightgun games, this one is quite a challenge and it will take some time for
you to beat all the levels. No walk through the park here.
Turkey Shoot is a quirky title with some appeal. While it will not go down as a
classic, it is a nice thanksgiving treat. If they can find a way to make lightgun
support for MAME, then games like this will really be more fun. Controls are
everything when it comes to making a high score, which is why coin-op high scores
are so much higher than mame high scores. But even with the hardware limitations,
it is still a fun little game that you will enjoy.
