Wild Gunman for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

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. When the screen flashes “FIRE!”, players must shoot before their opponent does—hesitate or fire too early and you’re toast. With multiple game modes, including one-on-one shootouts and saloon shootouts with multiple bandits, Wild Gunman delivers arcade-style thrills straight to your living room.
