Best Alaska Fishing Simulator Video Games
Plenty of fishing video games take place all over the world and in fictional worlds. But these are some of the best that allow you to drop a digital line in Alaskan waters.
Deadliest Catch: The Game
If you are a fan of the popular television series Deadliest Catch, you might be happy to know that there is a video game series based on the titular show. You brave king crab fishing in the Bering Sea. You will take on sailing through dangerous storms, make repairs and improvements to your ship, and interact with realistic 3D models of crabs. For fans of the show, this is a game worth checking out.
Boat Simulator: Fishing Game
Boat Simulator: Fishing Game is the ideal choice for those who want to play a simulation-style video game on their smartphone. It’s available on Apple and Android devices. You can sail to many locations all over the world, including Alaska. The game also includes multiplayer, so you and your friends can fish together or compete in a tournament all on your smartphones.
Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures
This is an older game (2009) but a fun one that incorporates fishing and hunting in various locations in the United States. In the final stretch of the game, Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures takes you to Alaska. When you are in Alaska, you are given the task of hunting Sitka deer, moose, fox squirrels, and brown bears. Later, you can fish for King Salmon and northern pike.
King Salmon: The Big Catch
If you want to play something really old, then you need to get your hands on a Sega Genesis and play King Salmon: The Big Catch, which was released in 1992. This game is set during a fishing derby and asks you to catch as many King Salmon as possible. While the game takes place near Vancouver Island, it’s one of the few games that puts King Salmon front and center, as the title implies.
