To my knowledge, only one place in town had this to rent. It was Shop Smart, a grocery store. They are also the only place I can recall having Bo Jackson Baseball, which is odd because Bigfoot and Bo Jackson Baseball are two games that prominently featured iconic “90’s kid” things but failed miserably. What was seen as a sure-fire success ultimately exploded like Bigfoot does in its game if you try to drive over trees.
Of course, because Bigfoot is a towering monster truck that eats diesel and shits out smoke and smashed up Buicks, you would expect a pulse-pounding soundtrack as your grease demon rampages through mud and other general dirty boy things. However, what music exists in Bigfoot can best be described as a medley of songs used for the soundtrack of Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. I’m not kidding.
The gameplay is confusing as well, all three things you’d think would make Bigfoot “go,” mysteriously do not make Bigfoot go. B, A and up do nothing except honk the horn while the computer truck crushes you in a race. In fact, no button actually makes Bigfoot drive; bewilderingly, the game accelerates for you. That said, the game decelerates for you as well, effectively robbing Bigfoot of the only two pedals you would expect to find in its cab. You steer. That’s all you do. Apparently, there’s a side perspective where you actually do get to fully control the truck, but who cares? This game is shamelessly bad.
