Reception

Inside Mac Games gave the game a score of 4 out of 5, stating: "As with most games, if you dig hard enough there are cheats available on the web. I have not tried them yet but I am sure some of them will work on the Mac. Deer Avenger is not an essential buy, but one that if you know what to expect delivers what it promises.".[5]

The game was the top-selling software title at Walmart.[7] as well as made the Top 10 game charts in the United States in late 1998.[8] It appeared at number 10 of PC Data's best-seller list for all of 1999 selling 343,756 units.[9]
