Background
Deer Avenger was announced in October 1998. The player controls a deer that cannot move forward, only rotate in place, while searching for clues such as beer cans or magazines. Hunters appear but only run and hide, never fighting back. The deer's commentary, written by a comedy writer, includes lines that poke fun at the game itself. Players can use odd weapons including a bazooka that incinerates targets and a slingshot that fires poop.
