This is a pretty authentic and reasonable Robotron game in its own right, but the game gets painfully slow over time, some of the screens are too easy as you can just stand in one area and shooting the enemies effortlessly as they walk towards you and the keyboard layout is abysmal. I have played worse for sure, but they had better keys. They could have been a real standout game but its imperfections and flaws prevent that.

The better of 2 equal clones of the arcade classic Robotron 2084, but with different themes. Like the name emplies, this is set in the wild west, not that really matters, has you can see from the other clone, called Dustman, with a trashman kind of theme. I think any theme could suit this game. It's a fast shooter, in a way similar to parts of Gauntlet. It features plenty of enemies which increase to insanity as levels amount. They are all cowboys (although they look more like spies to me), with a few objects spread here and there, like cactus, so if you like cowboy games (or spies) this is great for you, if you just enjoy fast shooters this is also for you, but for me it's just Robotron 2084 in new clothes, so nothing exciting.
