Bigfoot (Acclaim NES)

Bigfoot 4x4x4 is a video game made by Acclaim for the NES system.

The game is a two player racing game. Player 1 plays as Bigfoot, and Player 2 is simply a red truck with no name. If you play only one player, the Growler is your computer competitor. If you defeat him, the Charger, Crusher, and Terminator replace it.

The game play starts with an overhead view. Both trucks race on an obstacle course that has crushed cars, hills, mud, and water. You can damage Bigfoot and your competitor by running into rails, trees, or being hit by a power up which is a buzz saw.

If you win or pass the obstacle course with enough money, you will continue to traditional monster truck events like a car crush race, hill climb, sled pull, and mud bog. You can overheat or damage your suspension and engine during these events. Depending on how many you win in succession dictates if you run two or three events.

Other power ups include a shield to prevent oppositions damage and cash incentives that add to your overall money which can be used to fix your truck during other competitions. There are cash incentives by also crushing cars, hitting some of the course markers, and hitting a bull that will be in a difficult spot to get in or out of on the track, however, it will fill the screen with many cash incentives(known as a jackpot) for a limited time.

When you win, you will stand next to Bigfoot(which looks like Bigfoot 5), with a trophy, then a flash happens and its a picture frame.

The video game led to Bigfoots appearance in the cartoon Power Team, which was an assortment of Acclaim video game characters put together to make a team of heros.
