Fisherman's Delight: Set One
Angler's Pleasure: Set 1 is a single-player, mouse-controlled, shareware fishing simulator.
The game begins by showing the player no thumbnail image representing seven freshwater and two saltwater fishing locations. Each location is dominated by a few fish, some freshwater locations are trout waters while others have salmon or bass. The distribution of fish is random, they can be in any of the three different depths and one of them will always have more fish than the other two. After the player selects a location, he is taken through a screen where he selects his rod and line, then selects his lure and starts fishing. There is no animation in this game, the scene is a medium resolution static image, occasionally a butterfly can be seen, but what the player has to see is a ripple or small disturbance on the surface of the water indicating where the fish may be lurking.
When a fish takes the bait, the player must quickly press the Set/Net button; if he takes too long, the fish will escape. Once the hook is set, the player must press the 'reel' button until the fish is at a distance from the net. Again, the 'Set/Net' button must be pressed quickly or the fish will escape.
Once fishing has started, the player can change rod, line and lure, and can change location by left-clicking to return to the location selection screen. The game keeps two catch records, one records the last fifty fish caught, and the second records the best catch of each species of fish.
