Gameplay

Space Cowboy is a game in which the Space Cowboy maneuvers along a three-quarter perspective walkway, dodging blasts from lasers mounted in the wall.[2]

Reception

Bill Wallace reviewed Space Cowboy in Space Gamer No. 70.[2] Wallace commented that "The action is idiotic, wooden, boring after only a couple of minutes of play. If you'd never seen Zaxxon the three-quarter perspective would be interesting, though it doesn't really contribute to play."[2]

gollark: Oh no, typing.
gollark: The install is not that hard:- set correct keyboard layout- connect to WiFi- synchronize date/time- partition disks- format partitions- mount filesystems to /mnt or whatever- pick mirrors (kind of optional)- install packages (`base`, `linux`, probably `nano`, `dhcpcd` or whatever)- generate `/etc/fstab`- chroot into `/mnt`- set time zone- set locale- set hostname, add entries to `/etc/hosts`- set root password- install bootloader
gollark: Your awful OS, yes.
gollark: All of them do as far as I know, even just to set passwords and stuff.
gollark: Not true. Lots of them require manual intervention.
