Turkey Shoot
火鸡射击
Turkey Shoot is a 1984 arcade action game from Williams. Players use a gun controller to aim and shoot at waves of turkey enemies marching across the screen in a fixed-perspective playfield. The turkeys advance from the background toward the player, and the goal is to eliminate them before they reach the foreground. Some turkeys carry weapons and fire back, adding pressure to each stage. Power-ups appear on screen and can be collected by shooting them. The game progresses through multiple rounds with increasing enemy counts and speeds. A joystick controls movement while the gun peripheral handles aiming, giving the game a light-gun-style feel distinct from standard joystick shooters. The colorful, somewhat comedic visual style contrasts with the frantic pace of later waves.
