About Dog Patch

Hillbillies use shotguns to target tin cans tossed into the air during this two-player versus shooter. Players compete to hit the moving targets for points, while a special bonus round allows shooting a wild goose to increase the score. The gameplay focuses on timing shots to hit objects mid-flight.

Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Dog Patch. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
