Threadless and Big Buck Hunter Pro on the Hunt for Winning Design T-shirt Company Hosting Design Contest Based on Popular Arcade Game

CHICAGO - Feb. 8, 2007 - The popular t-shirt design website Threadless is hosting a user-generated design contest based on the hit arcade game Big Buck Hunter Pro. The grand prize winner of the "Big Buck Hunter Pro Loves Threadless," contest will receive a Big Buck Hunter Pro arcade machine worth more than $5,000, $1,500 in cash, a $300 Threadless gift certificate and a one-year 12 Club subscription.

Those who wish to participate can submit designs inspired by the "Great American Hunter" theme of the contest at www.threadless.com/loves/bigbuck. A panel of judges from the Threadless staff will choose the winner of the contest, which runs through March 1, 2007.

Big Buck Hunter Pro, distributed by Betson Enterprises, has evolved into the hottest-selling, biggest moneymaking video game in bars and arcades across the country. Recognized for turning urbanite hipsters into gun-toting sharpshooters, and neighborhood bars into backwoods open season, the game has garnered much media praise including claiming top spot in RePlay Magazine's "best upright video game" category. Gamers can enjoy over 400 unique playing experiences as they hunt deer, elk, antelope, big horn sheep and moose through 25 photo-real habitats.
