hunting and fishing

Big Game Hunter 6 is a game that one (child or adult)could literally play for hours. Why?

For starters, it is incredibly realistice. You have the choice of several rifles, bows, you can use calls, set up a blind, camp for the night, hunt at various times, and ride a pick-up or a three-wheeler.

A couple of things you cannot do is (a)shoot game "out of season," and (b)shoot another hunter, or a game warden. You'll be immediately stopped in your tracks, read the riot act, and you'll have to start your hunt anew.

My son and I have spent hours together on the computer hunting game in Wyoming, Alabama, etc, during all kinds of weather.

A wonderful way to spend time with your son, or space out after a long day at work.

I think this is a great game, but make sure your computer meets all of the requirements to play the game. I thought the game would work on my computer and it does, but it is slow and the sound sometimes does not word. I found out that my computer only had 7.5 MB of RAM from my video card instead of 16 MB. Other than that I think it is a great game! I really like how you can pick from the 3D hunting mode or live action video.

I bought this game for my Dad who uses XP on his computer. We had to play around with it for awhile before my Dad realized that you need to go into the graphics menu to adjust the graphics acceleration for the standards of your own computer. (The book leaves that essential bit out!) My Dad seems to really enjoy the game but it took nearly a month to get it finally working right. Also, the makers of the game are not that willing to help you in your plights, and more often than not want to try to get you to return the software to the store you bought it from. Everyone knows that stores don't let you return software most of the time! If you know how to fiddle with games to make them work on your computer, go ahead and get this one. Otherwise, approach with caution.
