Man Hunt

1997, Age 15

Playing Man Hunt at the park at dusk was incredibly exciting. There was an array of strategies to pick, from flat out sprinting away to sneakily hiding to keep from being found in the first place (I was of the latter strategy). Part of what made it so exciting was the range we covered. Having longer legs mean you can expand your "out of bounds" to take up the whole park.

Playing at dusk added a certain mystique to the game, but also upped the danger factor. When a friend of mine, during a daring escape, stumbled into a concrete pit and busted his face open on some fallen telephone poles?

Yeah...we stopped playing Man Hunt in the park at dusk after that.
