The horse dying is a very dark version of Yoshi being used as a meatshield in Super Mario World.

Shame the Gun.Smoke horse can’t ingest varmints and turn them into eggs, though.

I'm genuinely curious what an Old West smart bomb looks like 😂

I never played this, I didn't really get into the NES catalogue of games, but I enjoyed reading your review of it

Don't think I ever tried that one out, so me and you both, haha.

Thank you, Peter!

Ever since I saw that Game Sack video telling how this game really shines with an NES Advantage and the turbo feature on, I can't play it any other way. I get that it might seem off, but honestly, I honestly think rapid fire makes the game way more enjoyable.

Rapid fire with NES Advantage is indeed the best way to go!

Funny this game pops up, I was recently looking into the Master System version, it seems pretty solid by NES standards

They made Gun.Smoke on Master System?!

Lawrence 'Scanlines' Lichfield's avatar

They did! It seems to be Japan only which I actually only just realised but it does indeed exist and it looks ludicrously bright red

Ohhhh ok, I looked into it a bit more and it’s unlicensed. That makes more sense.

Curious to how the arcade version plays also. Wonder if the level design is the same or more interesting.

Wow, I totally forgot about that Indians song, I remember that from somewhere as well. Not church though, I don't think.

Yeah I don't care for the erasure of Amerindians either, to use your term. It's almost like America at the moment has no idea how to discuss them so they just get forgotten, which is a shame.

At any rate, I do think fighting a Native boss called Devil Hawk feels more cringe in 2025 compared to 1988. I don't blame Capcom for it or think it should be censored or anything like that, but... still feels weird to me.
