1983 Micro Power (UK)
by David Aubrey-Jones
A great unlicensed conversion of the Midway 'Boot Hill' arcade game.
And probably one of the first arcades games to be cloned.
'Cowboy Shootout' had some little changes the other great Boot Hill copy (1983 High Noon) didn't have. For instance, you do not need to worry with the ammo, its unlimited. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on your taste.
The other feature is the scoring of the games you win or lose, turning this into a competitive game, which is great for a 2-player challenge, just like soccer games.
Probably the second best Boot Hill version on the Spectrum.
3,5 stars
