Information About

Gun Fight




Gun Fight was an Arcade Game released by Midway in 1975 . The theme of the game involved two Old West Cowboy s squaring off in a duel. Each is armed with a revolver and whoever draws fastest and shoots the other cowboy wins the duel. Unlike a real-life duel, however, both cowboys always get numerous opportunities to duel in order to score points (one point per successful draw).


TECHNICAL

Gun Fight is notable for being the first coin-operated arcade game to use on the right instead of the left. The game uses a black-and-white raster Monitor and a yellow screen overlay.


HISTORY

Gun Fight was originally programmed by Taito as a TTL designed-game and was later converted to use the Intel 8080 microprocessor by Nutting. The game is the ancestor of all competitive two-player video games and was also the first Japanese arcade game to be exported to North America .
