[[File:Video Games 1 - Pot-Shot Time Limit.png|center|500px]]
Enter the length of time, in seconds, that you want each individual game to last. For example, if you want each game to last for 60 seconds, press the 6 key, the O key, and the '''ENTER''' key. The screen now displays the time limit you have just entered and tells you to press '''ENTER''' to start the game. You can enter any time limit from 1 to 999 seconds. If you press '''ENTER''' without pressing any number keys, the default time limit of 120 seconds is used. (If you press any non-numeric keys, you will hear an "uh-oh" sound.)
When you press '''ENTER''', you see a country scene with bushes in the foreground. The middle of the screen shows a lake surrounded by clumps of reeds with two groups of trees in the background. Every time the game is played, the shape of the various features is selected at random, giving hundreds of different scenes.
The object of the game is to hit as many of the targets as possible.
====Rabbits====
Rabbits appear at random from four different positions in the bushes. They run to an adjacent position and disappear. These are the easiest targets to hit, so they only score 1 point. At least one rabbit is on the screen at all times.
====Deer====
Deer randomly appear from behind the trees. They move out a few steps, turn around, move back to their original position and then disappear. Since they are smaller targets than the rabbits, you score two points for each hit. There is a brief pause between one deer disappearing and the next one coming into view.
====Ducks====
Ducks appear at random from one of the three clumps of reeds around the lake. They then fly up and across the screen, but not in a straight line! This fact, and their small target area, make ducks the most difficult to hit, so you score five points
for doing so. There will be a short pause between appearances of the ducks.
The [[File:Video Games 1 - Cross Hair.png|40px]] graphic on the screen is your rifle sight. You can move it around the screen with the Wired Remote Controllers or with the directional keys on the left side of the console. If you are using the Wired Remote Controllers, move the lever to position the rifle sight and press the FIRE button to fire a shot. If you are using the keyboard, press the directional keys
