In the Hunt
Log entries
- This was one of the games I discovered with MAME in 2004, and I was amazed by the graphics. The Irem team who made this apparently also made the Metal Slug games. This seems plausible, the graphical style is certainly very similar.
- My wiki has a 2005 entry about MAME emulation of various games, among them 'In the Hunt'. I created a scoreboard that included this game for some reason. I described it as a 'submarine shooter with beautiful graphics'.
- 2014-07-09: Found an old MAME save state on my old Dell Inspiron 510m laptop.
I now have an alpha build of a Irem M92 MiSTer core. In the Hunt seems to run perfectly. Very cool.
I played a credit's worth of submarine shooter on my MiSTer before sleeping. It's very difficult, and it strikes me that this somehow is one of the slowest shooters ever, yet still plays well.
