Can someone help me name this computer game?

I remember playing it on my grandparents' computer in the early 90's. I think it needed one of those big floppy disks. Basically you played this duck and would move around the screen, but what you were supposed to do escapes me.

What made me think of it was hearing this song: Lady of Spain (specifically the Les Paul version, but I couldn't find a link to it.)

Any ideas?

Hmm, I guess the "Duck" had more than its 15 minutes in the '80's and 90's

No, it wasn't any of those. It must have been older. It had very simple graphics - kind of like Pac-Man, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions, though!

I promise this game exists. I remember the music and there was a boat at some point..

Not being able to remember is driving me crazy. Too bad my grandma isn't around for me to ask.

Do you at least remember what kind of computer it was?

I didnt know that ducks were so prevalent in early video games. Pity that trend seems to have ended.

Install a C64 emulator on your PC and you can relive your childhood. If you follow the link to gamebase64 from the link I posted earlier you can download the game.
