Some folks have posted comments suggesting Deadliest Catch should be made into a full-fledged video game.  I think with a little imagination it could probably be done.  After all, there’s already bass-fishing and games of that ilk out there.  This is like bass-fishing on steroids… not only do you have to worry about where the crab are and how to catch them, you have to battle the elements, fight rogue waves, assist in rescues of other crews/ships, catch your crab before the ice pack descends, etc. etc.  I could definitely see these themes woven together into a playable video game.  Granted it’ll probably never become a #1 hit, but there’s enough Deadliest Catch fans out there I think to make it a reasonable success.

Have you played? If not, make sure to check it out. Takes a bit to figure out what you are doing but it’s definitely an exciting game to play. Learn to be your own captain, plot using gps, pick your crew, and make some money!

If you have played, what’s your highest score? Let us know by click on the “Comments” Link below the post title.

RealityTVWebsite reports that the much anticipated Season 3 of Deadliest Catch will not only introduce us to new crews, but also gives us the opportunity to play a fantasy game where we choose our own boats and put our crab fishing skills to the test.

In addition to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and online chats, this year’s DEADLIEST CATCH fansite offers viewers a chance to put their own crab- fishing skills to the test — in the comfort of their own homes. To coincide with the season premiere on April 3, Discovery Channel will launch an online game at discovery.com/DeadliestCatch where people can compete with other virtual skippers to find out who has what it takes to bring their crews home safely and with money in their pockets. Players select their boat and crew and navigate to fishing spots in hopes of pulling in a big haul and an even bigger payday. Prizes will be awarded to the top skippers.
