High Noon

About

You’re the sheriff defending your town from waves of bandits in this 1984 Commodore shooter. Gun down outlaws storming your streets while managing ammo and positioning. Between battles a cart hauls corpses away adding dark humor to the chaos. Controls are simple but the pace quickens as enemies grow bolder. Built with pixelated charm this single player arcade title leans into Western tropes without pretension. Its straightforward action and quirky details like the body cart stand out. While not as technically refined as later Western games it holds a cult following for its no-frills shooting. Classic C64 fans appreciate its punchy soundtrack and tight loop of defend-reload-repeat.
