An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Qwak! is a single-player duck hunting light gun shooter arcade video game developed by Atari 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.

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, approximately 250 units were sold. A two-player clone game by U.S. Billiards, Duck Shooting, was produced around the same time, and Qwak! has been suspected as a possible inspiration for the 1984 Nintendo Entertainment System light gun game Duck Hunt.
