BigFoot

 
Games: Bigfoot

Game Description

In each city of Bigfoot's L.A. to N.Y. cross-country tour, you race against a monster truck in an overhead Bump 'n' Jump-style contest, and then crush cars from a side-view perspective. Between races, winnings are used to perform upgrades and repairs on your truck. The game is overly repetitious, but the competitive nature of the events makes it fun for two players. The trucks are satisfactorily rendered, but the horrible sound effects leave something to be desired.
~ Skyler Miller, All Game Guide

Roots & Influences

This game was developed at the confluence of the monster truck and video game industry when marketing gurus noticed similarities in target audiences.

BigFoot was a racing game released in July 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by Beam Software and published by Acclaim. The game was advertised by the legendary monster truck of the same name in the cartoon segment of the 1990 television show, Video Power, titled The Power Team. The show also often used sound effects for the actions of not only BigFoot, but others as well.

Gameplay

The gameplay involves racing monster trucks including the title truck, BigFoot (blue). The computer controlled trucks are green (The Growler), and yellow (The Charger) if the computer's truck runs out of money and cannot repair their rig. It was not uncommon for a skilled player to be challenged by three to four different monster trucks during the game. In two player mode the 2nd player's truck is red. The object of the game is to advance to the next level (race) with incurring the least amount of damage as possible. The levels consist of car crushing, mud bog, tractor pull, hill climb, and the later levels is a combination of everything (except the sled pull) and is simply called a drag race. To advance to the next event you must complete a "cross country" race collecting money, points, etc. without damaging your truck.
