Gunslinger

Be of good cheer Vic owners, Omega are re-releasing established titles, thinly disguised, at rock-bottom prices.

This two-player game features a fully expanded arena for a quick-on-the-draw contest. I can't see any way of outsmarting the computer, unless you are a mite quicker than a microchip - so there must be two of you for the game to be playable.

The gunslingers are readily recognisable as mean hombres as opposed to token squiggles. Cacti offer cover as does the occasional stagecoach and the cheery undertakers are on hand to tidy up. There really isn't too much to the game - just the duel, with good graphics and decent sound and if that's all you want...

If Omega continue with this policy there should soon be some ace games sloshing around at silly prices. Does it really matter it has been around for years?
