In an authentic acre of the old west, two gunslingers (human or android) duel for their lives. Each one has six bullets in his gun, and trees are placed all around. Each player has to hit his opponent ten times in order to win. At each hit, both players get their guns reloaded. They can also reload their guns anytime by taking the hidden bullets in the tree that matches their outfit

Decent Fun, Bust Just Another Arcade-Style 2 Player Game To Me

It took me like 2 hours to find a way to play this, ha, and then I act surprised that it was indeed a clone of Gun Fight smh at myself ha. I like the single-player option, though. At least I now know how to play the future Odyssey 2 games on my list (RetroArch not MAME, imo). Usually I don't rate 2+ player games, especially when arcade-style, but I played around with this enough to warrant a rating (plus my husband deigned to play one round with me ha) and I tried the single-player style a few times.

Look: 8/10 I'm a sucker for this era's graphics and colors. Still, Gun Fight had more obstacle graphics than just the trees, and I was super excited expecting a more space-themed vibe to it. Instead it was literally just Gun Fight, heh. I like that the background colors changed as the bullets ricochet, that bumps this up. Otherwise, quite dull for an era of graphics I love.

Sound: 8/10 I'm a sucker for the sounds of this era; it was no Supermarn 1979 but it gives ya a nice crunch.

Sound: 8/10 I'm a sucker for the sounds of this era; it was no Supermarn 1979 but it gives ya a nice crunch.

Play: 8/10 I like that you have to hold down the button to shoot, adding a draw factor before the shot. Love the ricochet feature and that you can shoot yourself. It was fun to play around with the ricochet feature. And even tho this style of game will likely never be my thing, the single-player aspect helped make this ratable, not to mention it was surprisingly fun (again, for about 10 minutes ha).

Feel: 7/10 While I had fun with the ricochet feature, this is a 2+ player game and an arcade-style game--neither of which is usually my thing. After 2 hours of getting it to work, I probly spent like 10 mins on the game maximum ha. I did have fun, but it's not really worth the hassle of playing--not to mention you might as well just play Gun Fight.

Attachment: 7/10 If I ever want a quick arcade type experience that isnt Space Invaders or Pong-esque, this probly trumps Gun FIght just because it's a bit more fun to play around with. Still, nothing particularly special and not really my thing. Worth finding a way to play it if you are into shooters, liked Gun Fight a lot, or want to explore early console games.
