Wanted: More Western-Based Games!

[Rogmeister]

Hey, I see where we're actually getting a few wester-based games. There's Dead Man's Hand (already out) and Red Dead Revolver (on it's way). I think these are both for the XBox but I'm not sure if the latter is exclusive to that system or if it will also be for the PS2.

With that in mind, what are some other westerns I should get? I do have some others...Outlaws for the PC, Wild Guns and Sunset Riders for the SNES, and who can forget the classic Outlaw and Stampede for the 2600. I also had Mad Dog McCree back in my 3DO days, but are there any good ones I'm missing?

And i do agree that there should be more western games!

I love Outlaws on the PC! One of my all-time favorites. You may also want to check out Desperados for the PC, although I never played it myself. Westworld 2000 is an older PC game, a FPS based upon the movie Westworld.

Gun.smoke for the NES is one game that comes to mind. I love that game. Rising Zan is sort of a Western/Kung-Fu type of game for the PS1. There is also Lucky Luke for the PS1, but that got bad reviews. That's all I can think of now. I am sure there are a few more, but I think the Old West has been neglected in console and pc games.

I actually never played games on my PC much (it's not that powerful being one reason) so I don't know if I'll look for those but thanks for mentioning them anyway. I do have Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman but forgot to mention it. I may look for Lucky Luke anyway. Oh yes, there were a few levels in the original Bubsy that were kind of westerny. He even used the line "Well, it worked for Clint..." I seem to recall one of the G4 shows previewing an upcoming one where it seems to be set in the west but there are some supernatural or alien type enemies that show up. Wish I remember what game that was.

The Lone Ranger for the NES is decent.

[neotokeo2001]

OK. I can't resist.

Westworld Berzerk

Now THAT looks hot!! Nice one neo!!

Other western themed games I can think of...

Gunslinger: a Guncon compatible game for PS1...very fun, kind of crummy graphics though...the game rocks!

Kane (and I believe Kane 2) for C64...a few mini-games, very hard, quite fun.

It seems like someone made a game called "Law of the West" for the C64 as well...Accolade sticks in my mind, but again, I could be wrong.

I just want to second the recommendation of Gun.Smoke for the NES.

Oh, and don't forget about Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James for the PS1. Ok, its actually not all bad.

[Jasoco]

Well, how about Duke Nukem Forever?

Wait... nevermind. (I wonder, IF it ever comes out, will it still have the old Western levels. 8 years ago! )

Lethal Enforcers II Gunfighters?

[lostsage]

wild arms 3 for the ps2... that seemed interesting (dont' own a ps2)

[RJ]

Man, I hate to dig up such an old thread but is Gunfighter : LoJJ compatible w/ a Guncon 2 on the PS2?

The clerks at GameStop didnt know... :/

[poloplayr]

Do not forget the very cool Gunparu/Gunple (Gunman's Proof) for the Super Famicom!!! Great action RPG (Fantranslated: http://agtp.romhack.net/ganpuru.html

Wanted on the SMS.

Sunset Riders for Arcade.

[Cryomancer]

There's a japanese GBA game called....shit. It's Metalgun Slinger I think, or Metalbullet slinger or metalslinger...I think i got it right the first time but i'm not sure.

[dbiersdorf]

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath

Get it. One of the coolest games around, a great western theme mixed with sci-fi, please get it. PLEASE.

Yes it is.

[mr_nihilism]

I suppose Darkwatch could be considered a western. Kinda sorta.

[Rogmeister]

Well, I can't remember how many movies I've seen John Wayne battling vampires...

Actually, "Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula" is one of the worst movies ever made so that concept isn't great. Can't we get good western games? Why do they always have to merge it with other genres like horror & sci-fi? Luckily, I still can play Red Dead Revolver and a handful of older games. Perhaps I should pull out my copy of Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman?

[Garry Silljo]

It's also horror, kinda, but what about Silverload on the PS1?
