Hunt & Score
Description official description
Hunt & Score is similar to the game Memory. The player is presented with a numbered grid; behind each grid section is a picture. On each turn, the player chooses two grid sections in an attempt to find two matching pictures. Points are earned for finding matching pictures, and the player with the most points at the end wins. Several game options include a 16 or 30 square game grid, the ability to handicap one of the players, and the ability to enable or disable wild cards.

Less fun than the card game version
The Good
If you can't get enough of concentration, you might like this faithful adaptation.
The Bad
Concentration is not a very fun game. Sound effects are grating.
The Bottom Line
Remember those days when the whole gang would run out to the clubhouse, deal out a set of cards and you'd while away the afternoon trying to remember exactly where that king of diamonds went to. Yeah, me neither.
In the event that someone did love concentration, Atari brought that game to your television screen. Only with worse graphics (excepting the wonderfully evocative deer) and sound effects that will quickly have you hitting the mute button. All the concentration fun is here. The selecting of two cards, the looking whether the two cards are matching, and the tabulation of a score. If you get bored of that, there's a game variation that adds "wild cards" - sensational.
