Qwak! is a single-player duck hunting light gun shooter arcade game developed by Atari, Inc. and released in November 1974. In the game, ducks fly one at a time across the screen, and the player shoots at them using a light gun attached to the game cabinet. The player gets three shots per duck; ducks change direction away from missed shots and fall to the bottom of the screen when hit. A screen overlay adds images of reeds and a tree branch, and an image of a duck is added to a row at the top of the screen whenever a duck is hit. Games continue until a time limit, set by the machine operator, is reached.
Development of Qwak! began in 1974, finishing in November. It was presented at the November 1974 Music Operators of America (MOA) Music & Amusement Machines Exposition for release that month. The game was not commercially successful; according to Ralph H. Baer, it sold approximately 250 units. A two-player clone game by U.S. Billiards, Duck Shooting, was produced around the same time, and Qwak! has been noted as a possible inspiration for the 1984 Nintendo Entertainment System light gun game Duck Hunt.
1975 Disney world, contemporary hotel arcade
8 year old me would standby watching someone play this game
After it said GAME OVER i would shoo them away unbeknownst to them it was 2 plays for 25¢
I was part scammer back then
Seems like a fun game. This is perhaps the only footage of it available outside of the 1978 Dawn of the Dead movie.
I'm watching the movie now, I just had to pause and see if there's any footage on YT available :)
@@ELEKTROSKANSEN yeah super rare, baloon fight also
I wish it worked 100% in this video. I had to pass it along to the next person to figure out issues and since I have way too many games/projects.
I played this back in the arcades. It looks like this one isn't registering shots. I remember when you'd shoot the bird, he'd fall, and then your dog (I thought it was a wolf taking my kill when I was a kid) would come from the left side of the screen, pick it up, and run off to the right of the screen.
I think you're thinking of Duck Hunt that came out on the NES.
It's kinda weird how you play by practically touching the screen with the barrell, is it the way it's supposed to be played? The guy in Dawn of the Dead does that too!
Qwak,the forumner of duck hunt,but sadly it faded into obscurity.
I know, such a shame, atlast it still is more known than sega's 1968 duck hunt machine that came way before the version on the nes
wow if this is true,then ask your self why sega didn’t sew nintendo for using that name duckhunt for their duck shooting game in 1984
