The premise, in the publisher's words

Target is a one- or two-player game featured on the AY-3-8610 chip. Unlike Target Shoot (AY-3-8500) it does not require a light gun. Instead you steer a cross with your analogue joystick and try to hit the targets flying through the screen. While in the one player game every miss counts as a point for the computer, in the two player game only hits count as a points for the quickest player.
