Has there ever been a bull riding/rodeo game?

That is one sport which I've never seen depicted as of yet, although I could be mistaken.

The only one that comes to mind is Stampede, but that is more of a cattle rustling game IMO.

I think that would be sweet! I love weird games!

I could only imagine the controller that would come with.

there was an "xtreme bullriding" for PC back in about 98-00
budget title, looked pretty crappy. Same company who published "xtreme skydiving" x_x

EPYX's World Games had a bullriding event. I've only played the NES version, which was developed by Rare, so it looked pretty neet. It wasn't much of a game however. All you did was use the arrow pad to shift your weight to align yourself with the direction the bull was moving. So, if the bull was going to the right, and you were pushing left or something, you would get flipped off.

On my c64 DTV i got from Kaybee there was a game called "Bull Riding." It appeared to be an Epyx game, probably the one mentioned above. Pretty difficult to control (like all of those Epyx sports games.)

It would be dumb. It would be like grinding (same balance idea) except a different scenario. they could do it liek steel battalion and include a huge controller but it would be like $500 at least.

Yup, one and the same, except of course it came from the C64 version of World Games.

From gamefaqs.com:

"To ride the bull you must push the corresponding control direction in which
the bull is facing. If he is facing left, hit LEFT. If he is facing right,
hit RIGHT. If the bull spins push DOWN. If you fall of, you fail."

you could always build some sort of electronic rating system into the bull rider machines you see at bars. maybe it would spark a genre interest and you'd get rich.
