Eskimo Fishing Trip, The Collection: Open Source Games Action Arcade
Rating: 7.35 (17 votes)
Eskimo Fishing Trip is a neat PC implementation of the mechanical fishing toy, where you try to catch the fish with the fishing rod when their mouths are open. The fish go up and down at random, so you have to swing the bait inside a fish's mouth at just the right time. There's really nothing more to it than that, aside from the different environments and different number of fish on each level. Still, nice graphics and near-perfect rendition of the original toy makes this a fun freeware underdog that's more fun than your normal Whack-A-Mole. The author even released the source code into the public domain, so hopefully we will see an improved/expanded version of the game some day :)Reviewed by: Underdogs
