"Step into the boots of a bounty hunter in Gun.Smoke, an iconic vertical scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Capcom in 1985. Set in the Wild West, this game is designed by Yoshiki Okamoto and sees you assume the role of Billy Bob, a relentless bounty hunter on a mission to rid Hicksville of the notorious Wingates gang. The game offers a unique shooting experience, with the screen scrolling upward automatically and three directional shooting options - left, right, or center. Collect special items like bullets for faster shots, boots for quick movement, and horses for protection. You can also boost your score with items like stars, bottles, bags, dragonflies, and cows. But beware of the cattle skull, which reduces Billy's power. Originally an arcade game, Gun.Smoke was later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer Disk System in 1988, bringing the thrill of the Wild West to the comfort of your home. Despite its name, Gun.Smoke has no connection to the Western TV series Gunsmoke. The game is a perfect blend of nostalgia and action, ideal for fans of old-school platformers and games like Contra.
