Wild Varmint Bounty Hunter

About

You’re a bounty hunter with a rifle and a grudge against nature’s most annoying residents. Wild Varmint Bounty Hunter tasks you with clearing overpopulated critters from five US landscapes using four firearms ranging from shotguns to scoped rifles. Each environment hosts different targets like prairie dogs, coyotes, and rabbits. You move between maps buying ammo and tracking down pests in a mix of shooting and light exploration. The controls emphasize quick reflexes and precise aiming as you balance speed with accuracy to maximize earnings. Released in 1998 for PC, the game leans into its B-movie charm with cartoonish violence and deadpan commentary on rodent plagues. While the graphics feel dated by today’s standards, the simplicity of its mechanics and the satisfaction of clearing a map of hopping targets has earned it a niche following. Its quirky premise and straightforward gameplay make it a curiosity for fans of retro shooters with a weird twist.
