Man, I remember that game! The version on my parents' Toshiba laptop had a videogame for the hunting, though – a distorted little figure in the middle of the screen would move and shoot in eight directions (straight up, 20° above straight right, straight right, 20° below straight right, etc.) and if a bear or rabbit walked into the bullet (which went about 30 miles per hour – only a little faster than the bunnies) you could get meat. Of course, if you shot more than 2000 lb, the rest was wasted.

I honestly think M.U.L.E. was more educational – about five years after I quit playing, I realized that, just maybe, the monopolistic price-gouging tactics I was using were one reason why the colony always failed. (Of course, during the game, I merely happily noticed that my number was bigger than the computers' numbers.)
