Target

About

Target is a no-frills arcade game for one or two players on the AY-3-8610 chip. You guide a crosshair with an analog joystick to strike targets zipping across the screen. Misses add points for the computer in solo mode while competitive play focuses on speed, only successful hits matter between players. The simplicity of controls and scoring keeps the action brisk without complicated mechanics. The game gained attention for its clever scoring twist between modes and minimal hardware requirements. Though short on visuals by modern standards, it remains a notable title in early arcade chip-based gaming. Quick reflexes beat fancy features here.
