Iron Horse

About

Iron Horse is a side-scrolling shooter where you play a cowboy robbing a steam train. Choose between fists, pistols, or a whip to take down enemies as you progress through the train's cars. Your goal is to eliminate bad guys, gather cash, and pick up power-ups to survive. The game supports both solo play and competitive splitscreen multiplayer, making it a classic arcade showdown with a Wild West twist. What really stands out is the game's energetic Western soundtrack and the variety of weapons that change up combat. Released in late 1986, it's a lesser-known entry in Konami's 80s arcade lineup. While not as iconic as some of its peers, it's held a small but dedicated following for its fast-paced action and quirky concept. The mix of platforming and shooting keeps things lively, even if the visuals are basic by modern standards.
