SOLVED: The Hunt
by Leo Normington, Jr.
Ihad a game book from the late 1980s (If i remember correctly… may have been late 70s to early 90s, but I assume it was done after running man premiered in 87). It was a gift from a friend and I loaned it to someone else who had interest in DMing a playthrough. Unfortunately it disappeared and none of us can remember the title to track down a replacement. As I understand, it was a self-published game book that the creator would travel around cons trying to sell, but it never got published. It had a plain brown paper cover and black and white pages. The illustrations were rudimentary and reminded me of sketches I did in class in middle school. It was a post-apocalyptic death game TV show with different human contestants. It is definitely reminiscent of the running man. It was based not only around killing the other players or the elite hunter characters, but around how spectacular the kills are. Don’t remember much past that, but one of the illustrations had a guy with an uzi with a bunch of 1980s steroided action hero muscles (in my memory he was wearing a leather vest, jeans, and had a headband and a mullet, but I may not be remembering correctly). Anyone remember this game or the creator’s name?
