The film "La Decima Vittima" also known as "the Tenth Victim" was released in 1965. The film sparked a new game which was played by many students on university campuses, and to this date there are even societies that have been made to preserve this game.
The film was based in a future society where hitmen were legal and considered to be a real profession. It was so popular that the best of the hitmen were considered famous. Anyone who wanted to take up this profession would be given a new and picture and would have to assassinate that person, however, their own picture and name would be given to someone else.
The type of games that sparked from this are assassination based games, one of the more popular ones is called 'Killer'. Everyone is a hunter but also prey. Obviously, people aren't actually killed playing this game and only fall victim to something relatively safe such as a nerf gun dart.
