Overview
Description

Test your sharpshooting skills as ducks and clay‑pigeon targets take flight across open fields. Your canine companion watches your aim and reacts, adding a playful twist to the hunt. Choose from three fast‑paced modes, each giving you only three shots per target. Play solo or challenge a friend, and watch the speed increase as you advance through rounds, delivering the nostalgic NES experience on modern hardware.

Safari Hunting is a retro arcade shooter originally released for the SG-1000 in 1983. Players guide a hunter through a maze, shooting animals with a tranquilizer gun and dragging their bodies back to a truck for points. The game captures the simple yet challenging gameplay of early Sega arcade titles, offering a nostalgic single‑player experience. Its maze‑based levels and animal‑hunting mechanics provide quick, pick‑up‑and‑play sessions reminiscent of classic 1980s arcade fun.
