Description

"Bigfoot" is an off-road racing video game developed by Beam Software and published by Acclaim for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1990. The game is inspired by the famous monster truck of the same name, Bigfoot, which is considered one of the original monster trucks and gained fame in the 1980s for crushing smaller vehicles in exhibitions. In "Bigfoot," players take control of the iconic monster truck as they compete in various races and events across the United States. The game features a side-scrolling perspective and combines elements of racing with car combat. Players must not only outrun their opponents but also manage their vehicle’s condition, fuel, and utilize power-ups like nitro boosts to gain an advantage.

The gameplay of "Bigfoot" involves navigating through different terrains such as mud, water, and hills, each affecting the truck’s performance differently. The game is distinguished by its emphasis on customization and vehicle upgrades; players can upgrade their tires, engines, and shocks to improve performance in various track conditions. "Bigfoot" could be played in single-player mode against AI competitors or in a two-player mode where players could challenge a friend. The game includes various competition styles, including drag races and car-crushing contests, reflecting the real-life events that monster trucks participate in. Despite mixed reviews, "Bigfoot" was notable for bringing the excitement and spectacle of monster truck events to the home gaming experience, contributing to the niche genre of automotive combat games in the early console gaming era.
