Description

A classic one or two-player western gunfight game. Each player uses a small joystick to move their cowboy up and down the play area, while a second, much larger joystick is used to aim the pistol and shoot - this larger stick also has a trigger button. The game's single goal is to shoot the other player situated on the opposite side of the game area with the allocated 6 bullets. Wagons move up the middle and cacti litter the play area, both providing temporary cover from the opponent's gunfire and disintegrate when shot. The player may play against the machine or another person in two player mode.

gollark: The amount of often-conflicting ones is not really a point in their favour.
gollark: Again, popular ≠ good.
gollark: > That's like saying: Rules are bad and should be disregarded. Ethics are an important thing.You have not actually justified this, so it's basically circular.> We use ethics the entire time, disregarding ethics would mean disregarding schools of thoughtPopular/widely used things are not necessarily good.
gollark: I mean, I agree with the sentiment, but your reasoning is terrible.
