This is one of the four ‘Rifle’ games. We actually found this game mildly entertaining. Probably because it feels like an actual video game.
One player controls the Red Baron (or white square) and must follow the flight path indicated on the overlay. Whilst the other player tries to shoot said square, er I mean the Red Baron.
The only time you can hit the Red Baron is in the round window target points on the flight path.
This time the overlay does actually stop any game breaking from the rifle user as it will not register a shot unless the Red Baron is in a target window.
The player controlling the Red Baron though as usual with most Odyssey games can go anywhere on screen thus feasibly breaking the game.
Though Dogfight did keep my daughters attention and this time she kept within the game rules. Soundly beating her Dad and his aging reflexes.
The downside to (I presume all) the rifle games is one player must always provide the moving target whilst the other player gets to do the shooting, but hey this is 1972 and I can imagine many younger siblings getting lumbered with task.
One of the better games.
