Gun Smoke - 1980's Arcade Western has arrived on the Amiga (AGA) via Modern Vintage Gamer [UPDATE]

Modern Vintage Gamer who was behind the recent Amiga port of Zippy Race—a project that quickly became a fan favourite among our IndieRetroNews readers—has now released Capcom’s legendary 1985 Wild West arcade classic, Gun.Smoke for the Commodore Amiga AGA. Originally designed by Yoshiki Okamoto, the iconic vertical scroller put players in the boots of bounty hunter Billy Bob as he hunted down dangerous outlaws using a distinct three-button directional shooting mechanic. The original coin-op was a commercial hit, ranking as Japan's sixth highest-grossing table arcade game by the first half of 1986, and this new Amiga version aims to capture that exact high-stakes energy.
