It's not a version of Oregon Trail, is it? I remember in school how boys were into that game because our teacher let us play it because it was "educational." I remember you could hunt but not much else.
Thank you for responding!
I'm sorry, but no, it's not Oregon Trail, and I unfortunately can't even remember the system it was on, though I know it's a console.
Sounds like Safari Hunt
for the Sega Master System.
There's a hunting game / FPS that I'm been trying to remember for some time now. I saw it as a kid, so it wold have been the 80's or 90's. It's first person, sort of like Duck Hunt, except you hunt a bunch of different animals which have pretty cartoonish reactions to being shot. Spiders split when shot, I think, and bears take several shots...at which point they lose all their fur and run offscreen.
I believe the visuals also got darker the further you went into the game, and all this is all I remember. Anyone recognize this?
