For those of you who enjoyed Badgerpunch Games previously released Cowboy themed C64 game of 'Showdown', you might like this latest news update. As thanks to the developer who tweeted the announcement the other day, we now know that not only is 'Showdown' still coming to the Mega65, but as of today there has been a new sneak peak of the game itself. As the developer says "GET READY for Showdown on the Mega65! We are working on a port of our 1-2 player action shooter for the Mega65. The big fancy GET READY uses Mega65 RRB technique for massive movable sprites".
A little sneak peek of Showdown for Mega65 so far! It is missing some polish and bug fixes, but the game is working.

We have upgraded most of the graphics, but not finished quite yet. Should look even better at release! 🤠😊#mega65 #RETROGAMING #indiedev pic.twitter.com/ldA4x3TsGP
In Showdown you play a cowboy out to win a fierce gun duel. The first one to outwit and knock down the opponent 5 times is the winner of the duel. The game features a top notch soundtrack, quick draw gun shooting action, 1 or 2-player control, and finally is a cowboy themed game originally released for the Commodore 64, which is also inspired by a host of older titles with the same theme, going all the way back to Gun Fight from 1975.
