Flying Feathers

Flying Features is an X-rated game for animal lovers. Imagine: It's a beautiful summer's day. You sit in a rustic rowing boat on a calm lake. Distant fields can be viewed, stretching out like Mother Goose's patchwork quilt over the horizon. Suddenly, the brilliant blue sky fills with birds. So you shoot them. Flap, flap, splat!

But you're only doing your job. You're a game warden with a shotgun, and you gotta git them critters afore they swoops durn an' gits yur fish.

A solidly-crafted, addictive game this. Very attractive hi-res graphics. A madly quaking duck bolts across the lake if you manage to acquire a bonus fish. There's even a theme tune that I actually hadn't heard before - not just another well worn music-hall favourite. Well worth a thrash - but strictly not for the birds.
