In the Hunt[Note 1] is a singleplayer and multiplayer side view scrolling shooter game developed by Irem.
It was originally released on Arcade in 1993. It was later ported to PlayStation and Sega Saturn by Tsuji Jimusho and SIMS Co., Ltd. respectively, and released by XING Entertainment and Imagineer respectively in Japan and by Kokopeli Digital in North America and Europe for both versions.
The game was ported to PC by Tsuji Jimusho and XING, and released by GameBank in Japan on March 27, 1997. The PC version, despite being based on the PlayStation port, is notable for having slight graphical downgrade compare to prior ports, mainly decreased color depth and missing palette effects in some stages.
The game's installer was written for a 16-bit system and doesn't run on a modern OS, requiring workarounds such as running 32-bit InstallShield 3 software to install the game (which doesn't create desktop or start menu shortcuts for the game). Decreased color depth in certain stages can be fixed with a mod.

Issues unresolved
Unable to remap controls
- The InstallShield 16bits program cannot be executed on modern systems, the installation procedure cannot be fully completed, and the option to remap the game cannot be activated.
The issue cannot be corrected by registry manipulation, the game fails to read the registry values, whereas on Windows XP and lower, it can. For reference, the default registry entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Gamebank\海底大戦争\1.0]
"OPT_LEFT1"=dword:00000046
"OPT_UP1"=dword:00000054
"OPT_RIGHT1"=dword:00000048

"OPT_MUSIC"=dword:00000001
"OPT_CDR"=dword:00000000
"OPT_SOUND"=dword:00000001
Issues fixed
Unable to Install
Decompress the game using an InstallShield decompressor, for example icomp95.
Command line (assuming D as CD-ROM drive) : icomp d:\Setup\data.z c:\KAITEI\*.* -d -i |
---|
Garbled Graphics and Weird colors
Use a DDraw wrapper like Aqrit's ddwrapper.
Settings for aqrit's ddwrapper: RealDDrawPath = AUTO BltMirror = 0 BltNoTearing = 0 ColorFix = 1 DisableHighDpiScaling = 0 FakeVsync = 0 FakeVsyncInterval = 0 ForceBltNoTearing = 0 ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1 NoVideoMemory = 0 SingleProcAffinity = 0 ShowFPS = 0 |
---|
CD Audio soundtracks not playing
Change your Windows drive letters to let the CD-ROM be at letter "D". The Game CD Check does not care for the drive letter, but the CD Audio playback expects the disk to be in the "D" Drive. |
---|
Stage 04 Background gradient is downgraded compared to other versions
The game resources are not encrypted and the game can be easily moded. This MOD at archive.org restores most of the Arcade Version gradient. |
