Wild Gunman for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Tags
Draw your weapon and test your reflexes in Wild Gunman for the Nintendo Entertainment System, a fast-draw shooting game that brings classic western standoffs to life using the NES Zapper light gun. Originally an arcade title with film-based visuals, the NES version features animated outlaws who challenge you to quick-draw duels.
