Arcade Game: Carnival (1980 Gremlin/Sega)

Carnival is a classic arcade shooter, first released in 1980, where the core loop involves shooting targets across three scrolling rows while strictly managing a finite bullet supply. Players must hit various targets like ducks and rabbits, avoiding ducks that reach the bottom to steal ammunition. Completing a round requires clearing all targets, including a spinning wheel structure, followed by a bonus round where the objective is to repeatedly shoot an escaping bear. Success relies on precision shooting and resource conservation, as running out of bullets ends the game.
