Description official descriptions

Dogfight is part of the Shooting Gallery add-on for the Odyssey. It requires the supplied rifle accessory, and game card number 9.

The color overlay shows numerous airplanes and cross-hairs, all connected by one dashed line. The first player has to maneuver the dot on the screen along this path, while the second player tries to shoot it. Only when the "plane" passes one of the cross-hairs, the light will be bright enough for the light gun to register. Players change positions and win the game by shooting down the airplane more often than their opponent.
