A Look At Law Of The West
I have to admit it: retracing part of the story of the Amiga and the Commodore64 by means of Martin Grundy’s calendars has really been a blast so far. Not only it is a nice stroll down memory lane, but it is also a way to retrieve lost gems that I personally not had the chance to play, back in the day.
I am fairly sure that most of you will be familiar with this title yet, for those who aren’t, let me report that it was a nice (and probably new for the time) variation in the shooters’ landscape. Published by Accolade in 1985, the game saw you in the shoes of the Sheriff of Gold Gulch, a small little town on the western frontier. As such, it was your duty to make sure the peaceful town remained … well, peaceful. At least until sunset!
The gameplay was really easy and effective, although maybe boring in the long run. You had to face a series of encounters that could have a different outcome depending on the answers you selected during the dialogs: pick the wrong one, and you better off drawing your six-shooter real quick if you don’t want to end up watching daisies from the root side.
The beautiful and colorful graphic made this game a must-have, and even though it might not have aged that well, a match or two really won’t hurt you. Have fun!
