Magazine Ads

In The Hunt gets a smaller advertisement budget than other games. The first ad featured just the PlayStation and was a 1/3rd of the page width. It would have been seen on the outside edge of the page.

They then added the Sega Saturn version to the same style ad.

Trivia

  • The PlayStation edges out the Sega Saturn version with less slowdown, more characters in the high score table, and stores it all to 1 block of memory.
  • Members of the design team went off to form Nazca – the creators of Metal Slug!
  • The Saturn version has a CGI Movie that the PlayStation doesn’t.

 

 

 

Secrets

In The Hunt lets players see everything there is to see.

  • Extra Continues
    Once out of Continues, on the final timer countdown, Hold Triangle + Select and press Start. You’ll earn a fresh set of 5 continues.
  • Jump to Player 2
    If you don’t care about your score, just before you lose your last life, press Start on Controller 2. You’ll now have Player 2’s credits while you play on their controller.
  • Level Select
    At the title screen move down to Options. Now press and hold Up+Left and Select so you’re highlighting “Start”. Press Circle, and at the very top of your screen, almost off the screen you will see a Stage Select. There are 6 stages, a 1P vs 2P versus fight, and 4 endings. Press Start once you choose your stage or other choice.
  • Change the Game’s Speed
    The change isn’t that dramatic, but it is noticeable, especially the faster speed. Curious if this was leftover debugging options.

    • To Slow Down The Game – Pause the game, hold Triangle + L2, then resume the game.
    • To Speed Up The Game – Pause the game, hold Triangle + R2, then resume the game.
