SLACKERJACK - Birds On A Wire

Bird On A Wire was a 1990 film starring Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson. Luckily Birds On A Wire is here to reclaim birds and wires from that dreadful pouty, vaguely anti-Semitic atrocity.
Someone told us that Birds On A Wire is the cutest action puzzler ever made, and we think we're mostly inclined to agree - the Birds On A Wire graphics are worthy of your time alone, and if it wasn't for the fact that Birds On A Wire has a clearly sadistic premise that involves you shooting a series of birds out of gun towards a bunch of other birds shuffling along an elaborately-positioned telegraph wire, then we'd support this claim wholeheartedly. But, given the choice between playing Birds On A Wire and actually firing real birds out of a real gun at other real birds, Birds On A Wire would probably make for a less messy - and illegal - choice.
