José Pereira Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Hi, like the tittle says I want to find any related games on 8 and 16bits, mostly 2d horizontal scrolling or static screen to take some ideas. By now I think that from C64 I already saw them all or allmost like GhostTown, Buffalo Bill's, Western Games, Western Contest, Spaghetti Western and others like some train horizontal scrollers and some others that doesn't fit in what I want. I want to see anything 2d view on gfxs of buildings like bank, saloon, hotel,... railway station, trains, coaches and horses, desert, mountain and canyon views, plants and also sprites 2d moving, shooting and death of cowboys, indians, sherif and bandits. Front shooters like Bang Bank/West Bank are also welcome but these are too large for what I have in mind. All the ones I found most are also available on CPC and ZX so maybe what I will need more is your help to find on the consoles that is where I don't much of the available games.

advfan Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Don't think it fits the criteria but how I would have loved to see Law of the West for the Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks, I saw that C64 one but doesn't fit in what I want to get some ideas? P.s.- I remember right now about Spriters Resource that is mostly console and I think arcade also, I'll try a search there by "western" and related. They are a very complete website for sprites but in some games they also have screens and maps I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Western_video_games 8/16 Bit Console games in amongst everything else listed. Not sure if it's what your after, but thought it might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 As a huge Western fan I'm interested in this subject as well if anything just for a list of new games to play but also what you might have up your sleeve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Not sure if this fits your criteria either, but Six-Gun Shootout by SSI was released for the A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjennings Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Western_video_games Wow. Wikipedia is wonderful. From 1979 through 1985 not one western-themed game for Atari 8-bits? It doesn't even list the classic Outlaw for the 2600. I gotta fix that.

McKong Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 How about Bank Bang? http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-bang-bank_493.html And perhaps Claim Jumper? http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-claim-jumper_1077.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifthPlayer Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) You undoubtedly have this on your list already, but on the 2600 there is Stampede from Activision, for which phaeron made a nice A8 port. The 2600 also had Chase the Chuckwagon. Plus there's Custer's Revenge Edited May 16, 2015 by FifthPlayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks you all. I think I already found most of what I want but the strange thing is that I can't find nothing horizontal scrolling similar as C64's games like Ghostown, Express Raider, Back to the Future III train level (even that some of these have other platforms versions) in consoles that I would prefer 8bits Master System and NES. Anyone knows? Cowboys and indians sprites frames for these type of games are also welcome. Thanks.

Lost Dragon Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) It's not in your prefered console list and a long shot at that but...... Megadrive/Genesis Shinob i 3 has your Ninja riding a horse on Level 2 in a horizontal scrolling section...might give you some ideas, but i dunno if it's exactly what your after. As for C64, i assume you've looked at these: Train Robbers, Outlaws , Indian Attack , Lucky Luke , Cowboy Solitario , Mountie Mick's Death Ride? ST/Amiga wise thinking maybe Badlands Pete? Oceans advertised but never released (was it? ) Legend Of Billy The Kid... I'll probably think of a few more.

Mathy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hello José Would "Barnyard Blaster" count? Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Don't count out the GBC. Luck Luke Horse riding etc (on title screen so you can view from the off) http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DFCNicAnco6w&sa=U&ei=xbxXVZyWNui07QaOuoDgBg&ved=0CCEQtwIwBQ&usg=AFQjCNH7JhzTW3ELMyHPINunkbzWjPI1kQ Going back to the 16 Bits: Colorado?

Wrathchild Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Although a vertical scroller, Gunsmoke should provide some good sprites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Take a look at "Brave star". It's kind of sci-fi setting, but still has cowboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Take a look at "Brave star". It's kind of sci-fi setting, but still has cowboys Thanks but gfxs don't fit and the guys sprites are uggly, I think the only I like is our cowboy .And now that I went to see it I was like you, it seems the name isn't made of two words but indeed with just one and has two instead of one 'r': "BraveStarr" %-).
