Gun.Smoke

Game Overview: Gun.Smoke (1985)

Gun.Smoke is a classic Western-themed, vertically scrolling shooter developed by Capcom. Unlike traditional shooters of its era that featured spacecraft, this game puts you in the boots of Billy Bob, a fearless bounty hunter on a mission to clean up the lawless Wild West.

Gameplay Mechanics

Experience unique "run and gun" action with a specialized shooting system designed for tactical combat:

• Directional Shooting: Use a three-button setup to fire Left, Right, or Center.

• Dynamic Combos: Combine button presses to adjust Billy Bob’s firing patterns, allowing for 8-way directional coverage.

• Environmental Challenges: Stay sharp! The screen scrolls automatically. You must avoid enemy fire, physical collisions, and ensure you don't get pinned between obstacles and the bottom of the screen.
