Deer Hunter (video game)

Deer Hunter (video game)

"Deer Hunter" is a series of hunting simulation video games. Originally available for Windows platform published by WizardWorks Software, it was also published on Mac, and later in Game Boy Color, Playstation 2, and mobile phones.

The original game in the series was released on December 31, 1997. "Deer Hunter 2001" was released on April 2, 2001 for Game Boy Color . "Deer Hunter 2003" was released in September 30, 2003. In 2003 Southlogic Studios was commissioned by WizardWorks Software to develop Trophy Hunter 2003. Because of Trophy Hunter's success, the Brazilian Southlogic Studios took over the development of the Deer Hunter franchise, with "Deer Hunter 2004" and "Deer Hunter 2005", distributed by Atari. The original "Deer Hunter" and its sequel "Deer Hunter II" have also been released for Macintosh computers.

Gameplay usually takes place in a thick forest or meadow during different seasons of the year. Animals other than deer can be seen while playing, including Bigfoot in some incarnations, but these serve no purpose other than scenery. In the latest versions, players can also manage a deer herd with deer growth and genetics deciding the traits of offspring.
