Duck Pond is a game from the Strong Bad Email duck pond. If you feed one of the two ducks 10 times in the Tandy 400 version, you reach the Atari 2600 version of the game.

The Atari 2600 Version has some different controls, compared to the Tandy 400 version.-

  • Press F to throw bread.

  • Press 8 to shrink the brown duck (Note: Can only be done once).

Fun Facts

Glitches

  • If you hold the F key in for a few seconds, you will throw three pieces of bread simultaneously.
  • On some computers, the Atari 2600 version doesn't work at all. After Strong Bad comments on the "state of the art graphics," the email will start to play again.
    • You can also press "Loop" on the Flash file to keep the email from restarting. (Note: this will stop the game and you will have to restart the email.)
  • It is possible to get the ducks moving after the pond has been drained. Just get a piece of bread to fall in front of them. They will eat it and swim as if there was water in the pond. Once you've activated this glitch, you have to press A to drain the pond again, and the other buttons won't work.
  • If you press S while playing the Atari 2600 version in fullscreen (.swf), the Flash file will go back to the beginning where Strong Bad checks his email.
  • During the title to the Atari 2600 version, pressing the spacebar will make the duck that moves during the title go back to the beginning.
