Mad Mack's Harpoon Lagoon Overview
You maneuvered the boat left and right with the Z and X keys, which felt a bit unusual but became intuitive. Aiming the harpoon was separate, handled by the arrow keys, and you fired it with the spacebar. The real challenge was timing your shots on the fish swimming below while avoiding the hostile creatures, like sharks, that would damage your boat. You also had a limited supply of bombs, activated with the enter key, to clear the screen in a pinch. The pace was quick, and the difficulty came from managing your position, your aim, and the increasingly crowded waters all at once. It felt like a hectic race against the clock where every second and every shot counted.
