#3: Deer Hunter

WizardWorks Software – 1997

You are a man. No, not just a man. You’re a broad-shouldered, barrel-chested, square-jawed, eagle-eyed specimen of masculinity. You eat a dozen flapjacks for breakfast. You speak in barely coherant grunts. Your idea of a clean shirt is one that’s only been in the hamper for two days. You’re not just a man. You are a MAN.

You only have one problem. Nobody believes you.

And therein lies the quest of Deer Hunter – to prove your manhood (sorry, your MANhood) by grabbing your trusty rifle and venturing off into the forest. Your mission, fair adventurer, is to find the cutest, most fuzzy and adorable deer in the forest and blast it to smithereens. It’s the ultimate adventure – MAN against nature. The hunter versus the hunted. If that doesn’t get the testosterone flowing and the ladies swooning, I don’t know what will.

And it’s that wonderful testosterone flow, that feeling of blowing innocent creatures to bits with no intellectual stimulation to speak of, that makes Deer Hunter the third greatest adventure game ever.

Fruit roll-up.
