Qwak!

Another Video Action Favorite! Qwak™ is the newest addition to Atari’s unique line of video skill games. It’s a sensational one player attraction with video ducks flying up and around the
screen. The player clutches a rifle - attached to the game by a steel cable - and "fires" at flying ducks. A specially developed light gun has been installed in the barrel of the rifle, and immediately after pulling the trigger, the screen shows you where your shot was placed by lighting up at the exact spot hit. P l a y e r s are allowed three shots to hit each duck before it disappears and another flies out. The flying ducks make unusual authentic "qwak" sounds. QWAK - It’s a Hit! If the player hits the duck, it folds its wings and nose-dives for the marsh below, and the hit duck makes a "buzzbomb" sound as it falls. To complete the video display, a dog runs out from the right-bottom of the screen towards the fallen duck, picks up the duck, and disappears off the left bottom side. After the dog exits, another duck flies out. Ducks never fly out of the same path, and "veer" if a shot is placed near them. The score of hit ducks is visually tallied across top of the screen. Qwak is an accurate skill test that brings ‘em back again and again - it’s a crowd-collector, with great location versatility. Atari - Innovative Technology QWAK, like all previous Atari games,
features solid state computers tested with the unique Durastress™ process. All computers carry a one year warranty, and
all monitors are 23" C.S.A. approved. Operator adjustable items include extended time, free games, and game time limits. Qwak has a specially designed alarm system in the event that the gun is ripped off. A constant buzz sound similar to the diving duck noise continues to alert location owners.
