Western Gun

Western Gun is one of the earliest arcade shooting games, bringing the excitement of Old West duels to life. Released in 1975 by Taito (and licensed in North America by Midway under the name Gun Fight), this two-player shooter was a revolutionary step forward for video game design. Players take on the roles of cowboys facing each other across a dusty battlefield, dodging cacti and bullets while trying to outshoot their opponent.

As the first arcade game to use a microprocessor (in the Midway version), Western Gun paved the way for faster and more complex gameplay in future titles. With its charming pixel graphics, unique control scheme, and head-to-head competition, this game is a must-play for retro gaming enthusiasts and video game historians alike.

Whether you're reliving arcade history or discovering it for the first time, Western Gun offers a glimpse into the roots of competitive video gaming—and it's still fun today.
