Hunting Unlimited the True Hunting Game

#1 Post by 4FEATHERS » 30 Apr 2024 19:40

I found my log in, recently I posted as Hunter 4-I-Be. Lately I have been going through old paperwork. However; I still cannot find my original log in from years ago. LadyHawke would have known.
I was 4 FEATHERS and my wife One Shot Wonder. When making the tournaments we signed in as we were, but Hunting we would Hunt as one, as under one profile, reaching page 7 of the Hunter profile standings out of 180 pages.
I used to be in here at the Forum regularly when it was way busier and way more active. The moderators LadyHawke, Lone Wolf, Brian T, Dollar Bill, and others I remember such as cyclonegt, Pat Booned, Debs, Quasidimensional, and of course Ziggy. Ziggy helped with the MOA charts way back when. I am related to Ziggy, who first introduced me to Hunting Unlimited back in 2009, when my father passed away, and I went back home for the services. After showing me HU 2008, and playing it I was hooked.
I purchased every game of the series. This was the place to be. I do not know what happened. But when SCS Software sold the game, that was the beginning of the end. Back then I heard they did not sell the rights to the Tournament generator. Yes, you guessed it, the Tournament generator was the creme de la creme it was what made the Hunting Unlimited game franchise such a popular game and competition bringing people together from all over the world and from all walks of life for just good ole fashioned friendly competition. It was the greatest while it lasted.
When SCS Software sold the game, they knew the Tournament generator was the main key factor. I do not know all the facts as not much was disclosed about it, but maybe they wanted too much for it and the buyer did not want to pay.
But as you can see by this Forum, the legacy of Hunting Unlimited is dying out without the Tournament generator. As I seen LadyHawke on here 4 years ago with 1 post, but as a moderator back then she had Thousands of posts.
I emailed SCS Sotware several times asking them if I can purchase the Tournament generator, in both languages English and Czech with a translator, telling them that I would pay for everything including the hosting and upkeep of the Tournament generator as well as the Forum. I have never heard back from them all through the years, checking my inbox, spam folder nothing. You would think that SCS software would at the very least acknowledge that they received an email from their devoted fans.
For the guys on here now trying to mod the game, I hope you all the best in trying to revive the game, but remember the Tournament generator was the game, find a way to get that or if impossible from SCS Software find a way to program or mod that then you will see this place come back to life.

I know on my profile here in this Forum it says I joined 22 Aug 2020.
I could not find my old login or OneShotWonder old login, yet we have many Tournament Certificates starting 2009 and 2010.
My wife OneShotWonder and I 4Feathers really loved this game in Tournament Mode if you go to the old pages of Hunting Unlimited through way back machine website you will see us there. We will always remember this game with our saved def files and all of our Tournament Certificates, yes we saved all our Tournament Certificates. We also have so many wonderful in game pictures of Hunting and Animals.
These will be great memories for us both.
Sorry to see SCS Software has no further interest in this great game, and so very sorry that SCS Software will not let anyone else use the Tournament Generator.
We will now take off in our UFO provided by SCS Software, luckily it was on the ground, easy walk in access.
Thank You SCS Software for many great years and endless hours of enjoyment with the Hunting Unlimited games.
OneShotWonder and 4Feathers will now walk into the UFO. We both will miss this adventure greatly.
We both wish you all well.
Farewell Hunting Unlimited and hunting friends.
OneShotWonder

Wow, what a nostalgic trip down memory lane! It sounds like Hunting Unlimited was more than just a game for you and your wife - it was a real community and passion. The Tournament generator clearly made it something special. Sad to hear SCS Software seemingly abandoned something that meant so much to dedicated players like yourself. Those memories of competing, collecting certificates, and sharing experiences with other hunters sound amazing. Thanks for sharing your story and keeping the legacy alive, even if just through memories now.

For me, it’s always slots. I love the fast pace, exciting gameplay, and the creative themes—they really keep things interesting. My top picks are Book of Dead and Big Bass Bonanza; both offer great bonus features that can turn a small spin into a big win. There’s nothing quite like the rush of hitting a bonus round and seeing the reels light up. If you enjoy slots as much as I do, you should definitely check out Wild West Wins Casino for some thrilling action.
I remember logging in years ago and seeing names like LadyHawke, Lone Wolf, and Ziggy—it felt like a tight community. The Tournament Generator truly was the heart of Hunting Unlimited, making competitions so engaging. It’s such a shame SCS didn’t sell or share it, and frustrating that they never responded to fan offers. For anyone trying to revive the game, focusing on recreating or modding the Tournament Generator is key. Without it, the legacy just won’t come back alive.

@Mmau SCS made the game, but they didn't own it, the publishers did. So SCS couldn't sell or share it.
