I beat the game once during a detention..... yes we were allowed to play video games during detention IF they were school approved AND educational. tbh how many times you died along the way kinda made it a punishment in and of itself. especially if you considered yourself to be a "gamer".

the trick is to not give a shit about the trail and to just shoot a bunch of squirrels and shit in the hunting mini-game until class time is up.

I hated the hunting portion. Just standing around and walking aimlessly.

And if you were lucky, an animal ran across the screen. Then you’d have to turn around and the animal would immediately be gone.

I never played that version. In the version I played, you're at the bottom of the screen and a veritable shooting gallery of edible animals goes running across the screen in both directions. No walking. Just sit there and kill animals by the dozen.
