Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick is a video game based on the television series Duckman. It is a point-and-click adventure game, similar to that of LucasArts games. In the game, Duckman has been usurped by a similar-looking impersonator, whom the real Duckman must expose.

Eric Duckman, the private detective, becomes a celebrity and is about to star in his own TV show. Now, he lives his life with pleasure, abandoning his family, only to be one day removed and replaced by a new Duckman, a more muscular and superhero-like. The Duckman is about to commit suicide, being rejected by his family, however, his friend, Cornfed, asks him to return his place under the sun and take down the new Duckman. After a series of humorous adventures, Duckman is able to gain access to the studio where the show is filming. There, he confronts his impersonator, who is revealed to be a robot, and is then destroyed. The game culminates with Duckman opposing the one behind the whole impersonator plot, his archenemy, the 'King' Chicken.
The gameplay is point-and-click adventure. Duckman can interact with and use collected items on various characters and objects. There are two ways to interact with a person: a normal way, and an angry way. Being based on the popular animated sitcom, the game is filled with black humor. The game contains about thirty locations.
Jason Alexander does not voice Duckman in the game, despite Gregg Berger, Nancy Travis, Pat Musick and Tim Curry reprising their roles.
