Cowboy Amstrad Type InDoes anyone recall a cowboy game type in on the Amstrad? What I am remembering is the classic blue background, with blocky cowboys and cactus, it was a 2 player game and when you fired your gun it would shoot off and if it hit the cactus it would change direction by 90 degrees... I think it was a type in but I've just gone thru most of the Amstrad Action magazines (https://archive.org/details/amstrad-action-magazine?&sort=titleSorter&page=2) but didnt find it in the Type In section...

Nothing's springing to mind, although it is reminding me of Zzoom's project. Had a quick flick through my CPC archive, but nothing obvious is cropping up. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I used to get Amstrad Computer User, Amstrad Action and AmTix (as well as many other publications - Your Computer, C&VG, Computer Weekly etc.) and do all the Amstrad type-ins. I don't recall that one at all.

Hmmm, maybe it wasnt a type in - but I cant recall a bought game like that.

Could it have been Outlaw on the Atari VCS? View on YouTube |

Good find. I used to get Amstrad Action every month, but even with the image I can't remember that game. It was 30 years ago though! |

Use to love getting the AA Covertapes, we weren't well off so my 20p a week pocket money didnt go far so when we got the tapes it was a little bonus

That's 'cos you're an old fart! By the time I was old enough for a job, we'd already moved on to the Amiga! Magazines were for Xmas, Birthday and Easter treats. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I'm not built for work. 13 years working in an off-licence was enough to give me a brain tumour!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

That would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
