The [[File:Video Games 1 - Cross Hair.png|20px]] 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 [↑ ('''E'''), ↓ ('''X'''), ← ('''S'''), → ('''D'''), ↖ ('''W'''), ↗ ('''R'''), ↙ ('''Z'''), ↘ ('''C''')] to move the rifle sight and the '''ENTER''' key to fire a shot. Not all of the animal's body is part of the targets, so try to hit it dead-center. You know you have scored a hit when the animal disappears and a few musical notes follow the rifle shot.
=====Status=====
The bottom line of the screen shows the status of the game at any time. The number on the left is the timer which counts down as you watch.
The number in the center shows how many shots you have fired. After every six shots the word LOAD appears here, and there is a short delay while your gun is reloaded. Although the time keeps running, you can't move your sight or fire during reloading, so don't waste your bullets! When the word LOAD disappears, you can start shooting again. The "gun" in this game is also a bit old-fashioned, so don't fire too fast or it will overheat and become "jammed." There will be a delay while the jam is cleared, during which time you can't shoot!
=====Game Over=====
At the end of the time you allotted for the game, your score is shown, and you are asked if you want to replay the last game. If you don't, press the '''N''' key for no, and the computer goes back to the game selection list. If you press '''Y''' for yes, the game will start again with exactly the same scene and time limit. This allows two or more players to take turns at the game and compare their scores on an equal basis.
