Reviews/Summary
a)Gone Fishin' is a fishing video game for DOS released in 1994 by Amtex. The player takes part of a fishing tournament in the Bay of Quinte in Lake Ontario. This includes buying fishing equipment at a store and getting advice from both the storekeeper and an older man at a nearby fishing lodge.
b)Gone Fishin' is one the most advanced fishing computer games ever released for the DOS operating system, developed by SimGraph and published by Amtex, the game is very close to the real life fishing experience. Set in the Bay of Quinte, the player enters a fishing tournament to prove that he is the best fisher. Before entering the game, the player can change some options in the game configurations menu and change settings like weather, temperature, wind and so on. After entering, you'll soon find out that you have no equipment and need to use to use the store in order to get ready. There are a lot of menu to play with in the game, so consulting the manual may be required, especially for the fishing part, for there is a lot of information being displayed on the UI and you need to get familiarized with it if you want to know what you are doing. Even though the gameplay is complex, once you get the hang of it, the game starts to become a little addicting, because it's so much fun.
