Play Bigfoot Online

Bigfoot came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, developed by Beam Software. It was one of many games from that period trying to capture the appeal of monster trucks on the 8-bit console.

You control a monster truck driver competing in a cross-country championship. The main goal is to win a series of races, moving from Los Angeles to New York. The game is split into two distinct phases. First, you drive a top-down qualification race against an opponent, collecting money and power-ups scattered across the track. Then, you enter a side-view head-to-head race where you must rapidly tap left and right to build speed and push your opponent off the screen. These races include events like Car Crush, Mud Race, and Drag Race. Between events, you spend your qualification earnings on essential truck upgrades for tires, suspension, and engine power. The game moves quickly between these different modes, and the difficulty comes from managing your limited funds for upgrades while winning the demanding races. Playing it feels like a constant scramble to keep your truck competitive.
