2. Atari 2600 Version


You used to be able to play the Atari 2600 Version of Duck Pond just like the Tandy version. However, this game has since been replaced with a short animation during which Strong Bad plays the game and expresses his amazement at the graphics. The "state of the art version" had more controls than the Tandy 400 version:

Pressing F threw bread.
Pressing A dropped an anvil (Note: If the anvil fell on a duck, the duck could not come back).

Pressing Y drained the pond; making the ducks stop moving (Note: Once the pond was drained, it could not be refilled).

Pressing 8 shrank the brown duck (Note: Could only be done once).

The new version replaced the instructional text on the title screen with "Videlectrix" as part of a retcon. It is not known why the playable version was replaced.
