FRED TUTTLE Last summer Tuttle, 79, surprised Vermont when his semi-spoof run for the G.O.P. senatorial nomination resulted in a win. But it was truly an upset victory: Tuttle's wife Dottie had refused to vote for him and hoped aloud that Vermonters wouldn't send the retired Tunbridge dairy farmer to Washington.

Deerhunter II, a $20 sequel that pits high-tech computer gamers against low-tech deer. While this upset may have ruined breakfast for a few Microsofties, it came as no surprise to anyone who's been watching the computer-gaming world during the past year. Software programs that simulate hunting have dominated the charts ever since GT Interactive created the original Deer Hunter this past January; four hunt-and-shoot titles were...
