Gun Fight
Description
Gun Fight is a two player twitch game in which players take on the role of a gunfighter in the American West. Four way joysticks allow the player to move the gunfighter in different directions on the screen. A two-way analogue stick allows players to aim the gun up and down. Bullets ricochet off the top and bottom of the screen. For each hit players earn points and more destructible obstacles are added on the screen. After a time limit is reached the player with the most points wins.

The First Duel in the Digital Wild West
The Good
Amazing graphics! Characters look like actual people, and the movements are much smoother than ever before seen. This is due to the incorporation of a digital microprocessor, a debut in video games. It also introduces strategic elements like moving behind obstacles and timing shots, making it more engaging. The sound produced by the guns adds atmosphere to the game.
The Bad
Despite the engaging duels, after several rounds, there isn't much else to discover.
The Bottom Line
Gun Fight feels like a major leap forward. After several years of a saturated market full of Pong clones, we finally have a game where the characters look like people, not just dots or paddles. It makes the duels feel more intense. This pushes the boundaries of what video games can be, making it a memorable experience.
