Release Date RRP Code

King Salmon (キングサーモン), sold in the US as King Salmon: The Big Catch, is a 1992 fishing game by HOT-B for the Sega Mega Drive.

You start off in an overhead view of your boat on the lake, and you must row to where salmon are biting. C causes the boat to move and A selects a spot to fish. Once you have found a spot where salmon will show up, the screen zooms in up close to your boat with some green bait in tow. A returns to the larger overhead view to find another spot. Be careful not to hit other fishermen! (TODO what do you do when you actually see a fish?!)
