Description

Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick is based on the popular USA Network animated series Duckman. In this game, Duckman has been replaced by the new Duckman (who of course look more like a super-hero than the old Duckman) and you have to take back your show. As the title might suggest, it is an adventure game, in the LucasArts-style.

Like the show itself, it's good for some cheap laughs. monkeyislandgirl Bronze Star Contributing Member (8221) 3.17 Stars3.17 Stars3.17 Stars3.17 Stars3.17 Stars

Trivia

The reason Duckman was not released in America had to do with a number of issues: 1) the declining popularity of the show, 2) the declining popularity of the Adventure Game genre, and 3) Playmates getting out of game software development.

Apparently things were different in Germany, where a localized version of the game WAS released (go figure.)
