Although we were a bit late on the news with this one, as I was not around at the time *damn it!* but we've just found out through Facebook, that the classic Arcade Cowboy shooter from the 1980's called 'Gunsmoke' , looks to be getting an Arcade like port for the Commodore Amiga. Yes indeed this Arcade game which also appeared on the C64, NES, Amstrad CPC, MSX, PlayStation 2, PlayStation, ZX Spectrum, Xbox, Sega Saturn and Windows, will be coming to an Amiga near you thanks to Earok and his fabulous Scorpion Engine!

Although we don't have any further information about the game as this is the first proper announcement from Earok, from what Wikipedia says about the original, is Gun.Smoke was originally a 1985 vertical scrolling run-and-gun shooter arcade game by Capcom. This Western-themed game was designed by Yoshiki Okamoto. Gun.Smoke centers on a character named Billy Bob, a bounty hunter who is after the criminals of the Wild West!
