Alligator Hunt is a 1989 arcade light gun shooter developed and published by SNK. Players take on the role of a hunter armed with a shotgun, battling alligators and other wildlife across swampy stages while avoiding environmental dangers. Its brisk pacing, straightforward shooting mechanics, and classic coin-op tension make it a representative example of late-1980s arcade action built around reflexes and accuracy.

The game is played from a first-person light gun perspective. Players aim at targets on the screen and pull the trigger to shoot hostile animals and other threats. Stages are set in swamps, marshes, and wooded wetlands, with enemies appearing suddenly from water, reeds, and the edges of the screen. It is primarily a single-player experience focused on accuracy, reaction time, and stage progression. As the game advances, enemy frequency and speed increase, demanding steady aim and efficient target prioritization.

Focus first on enemies that close distance quickly, especially alligators emerging from water or the screen edges. When multiple targets appear, eliminate the biggest threat before wasting shots on less dangerous animals. Keeping your aim around common spawn areas helps you react faster. In harder sections, avoid panic firing and concentrate on maintaining hit consistency.
