Game works too fast. I had to use "Cpu Killer". So, speed of the game works normaly but shooting at the ducks doesn't kill them! What should I do?

The last setting under Configuration and Options is Duck Flying Speed. Did you set it the slowest setting?

Even with the ducks flying slowly, the hit detection is extremely poor. The duck is just a bitmap image, and the game was written in VisualBasic. I felt that the game was worth preserving, but it certainly can be frustratingly hard to play.

I tried to change speed but the game requires registry

If you increase the screen resolution, you'll get more opportunities to shoot at the ducks per pass, but they'll be harder to hit. If you decrease the screen resolution, the ducks are easier to hit, but you can't take as many shots at them. Either way, you're not going to hit very many ducks. I guess, in that sense, it's a very realistic game: ducks are really hard to shoot.
