But if that’s all I could deliver, what would be the point? If you’ve ever created any software product, you know that this could easily have turned into a suicide mission.īut the mechanics of a hunting game were not very complex, so I figured I could ship a very simple product if I started yesterday and used every available moment. My mission was to create a new hunting game that would be competitive with these multi-million unit sellers and ship it in less than 90 days so it would be on the shelves for the holidays. Deer Hunter was a huge seller at Walmart and other big box stores and there were a few copycat products that were riding its coattails. One Friday afternoon in August, my boss tasked me with entering the then-booming deer hunting videogame market. Further, he can collect rocket fart power-ups that jettison him across a lot of terrain very quickly, and a nuclear fart powerup that can destroy any hunters in the immediate area.In 1997, I was Vice President of Viacom’s Simon & Schuster Interactive division. Fortunately, Bambo is nimble and has strafing capability. When a hunter sees Bambo, the encounter devolves into an all-out dogfight. Bambo does well to sneak up on the human, hiding in shrubbery where available. When a hunter enters the terrain, the music changes and Bambo uses either the hunter's voice for tracking, or a radar fart power-up. He can lay out lures such as pizzas or beer, or he can use any of a number of humorous calls, or he can find a broccoli power-up which affects a magnet fart. Bambo runs around in search of hunters to engage.

The action takes place in a large, open, 3D space with fog and running streams that can be waded through the camera follows just behind the hero deer. Bambo uses these doorways to magically teleport to the hunting grounds. There is a trophy room and passageways to wildernesses in 4 different states.

Bambo begins in his decked out bachelor pad of a cave which is equipped with a widescreen, wall-mounted television on which he can view game credits or the intro movies for any of the 4 Deer Avenger games. Unlike the previous episodes, there isn't much backstory this time just an no-holds-barred competition between the deer and the hunters. Bambo is back for another round against the redneck hunters in Deer Avenger 4: The Rednecks Strike Back.
