Skeet Shoot is a skeet shooting video game for the Atari 2600 and the first game released by Games by Apollo in December 1981.[1] Players assume the role of a skeet shooter shooting clay pigeons. There is a two-player mode where the players alternate.
Skeet Shoot was developed by programmer Ed Salvo[2] in his Iowa home and purchased by Pat Roper under the newly formed Apollo. Despite negative reviews, it was a financial success and led to Salvo's continuation with the company, where he became Director of Development.
