Game Play

You are given unlimited shots, and once the game is over, the audio track on the tape switches over to another track with a loop of a carnival barker who gives a never ending sequence of praise for the player with statements like "That's really good" shooting, try again", "Nice shooting, try again".

Targets include witches and ghouls that pop out from behind various props, along with lighted targets and a ghost clown lighted image bouncing on a pogo stick across the foreground which is VERY difficult to hit. Once hit, he changes direction. Hitting the pogo stick ghost clown more than once per appearance is very rare, and in most cases it is better to wait for it to leave the playfield to shoot higher point rewards. The game will only allow you to score points on whatever target is currently active. The best strategy for getting high points is to rapid fire with accuracy the lighted shooting gallery on the right when it gets illuminated and to also time your shots of the lighted ferris wheel when the op spoke is illuminated, which returns the highest single shot score reward of 500 points.
