Convoluted Controls, But Otherwise Well-Done Arcade Shooter
Look: 7/10
The colors and sprites are pretty good. Nothing special, though. 
Sound: 7/10 Exciting, albeit typical, arcade-style action sounds. But less annoying than a lot of this era's Atari sound effects, tho still a little annoying. Also, you know I like when there's an actual "song," and the train sounds become a bit of a repetitive zome (repetitive in …

Sound: 7/10 Exciting, albeit typical, arcade-style action sounds. But less annoying than a lot of this era's Atari sound effects, tho still a little annoying. Also, you know I like when there's an actual "song," and the train sounds become a bit of a repetitive zome (repetitive in a good way ha, for continuity and "grooving" while I play). But nothing striking or special.
Play: 6/10 Tho I have respect for the accuracy and versatility of these dual joystick shooter games, I'm just too inept ha. I got a bit used to it, and enjoy the setting and concept etc. Technically the execution is really well-done, but meh, not gonna push through the overly-complex controls to get further. I saw that eventually you are battling on top of the train and other cool ideas, and I was glad to see the western game was not some "cowboy vs Indian" concept (and of course Native Americans, Mexican citizens, and Black Americans are a huge part of ranchero/cowboy culture)
Feel: 7/10 Like I said, technically well-done (definitely play this if you're into dual joystick shooters), my main complaint is I wish the shooting was automatic as you aim the shots, instead of having to also constantly hit the fire button. Just a bit too much for my bad-gamer-self, but a good quality game worth a try.
Attachment: 6/10 I wont be returning to it, but I have respect for it.
