Big Buck Hunter Pro

Overview

Big Buck Hunter Pro is a light-gun shooter developed by Raw Thrills and published by Play Mechanix for the arcade platform.

Gameplay

Each round will present 3 Bucks to take down, and as the game progresses it gets more challenging. There are many trees, bushes and does that get in the line of sight. The Bucks can also be off in the distance, making it harder to shoot them. Don't shot the Doe, otherwise it's game over! Bucks can be taken down in a variety of ways; a head shot, heart shot, or just pepper the poor animals!

The Modes

Turn-Based

Up to 4 players can play, taking turns to shoot the most Bucks. You can choose to do a single Trek or do the full Adventure.

Shootout

The cabinet has two guns which both come into play when you pick this mode. Everything about this mode is pretty much the same except both players are shooting at the same Bucks simultaneously. Which means the clever player will steal kills off the other player once the bucks have taken a hit or two. If one player shoots a doe, they are done until the next site begins.

Bonus Rounds

Between each area players take part in a bonus round. Usually this involves hitting 30 odd targets, which include shooting at bottles, cow pats and gophers, in the quickest time and with the most accuracy. Bonus rounds are also playable by themselves in Bonus Only.

The Cabinet

BBHP comes in two styles of cabinet; the 38" deluxe and the 29" standard cabinet. The 38" cabinet is hard to find and there have only been reports of it in Australia.
