Let's Play Gun.Smoke! (Arcade 1985)

Let's suck at the classic 1985 Gun.Smoke arcade game! Yes, Gun-Period-Smoke. I guess this was done for copyright reasons, so as to not have it confused with the western TV show, "Gunsmoke." Or maybe, their grammar was terrible? Anyways, I haven't sunk a quarter into this in decades (that's my excuse), so it's time to suck it up! Let's do this!

From the Wiki: Gun.Smoke is a 1985 vertical scrolling shooter arcade game by Capcom.[1] This Wild West-themed game was designed by Yoshiki Okamoto. Gun.Smoke centers on a character named Billy Bob in the NES version, a bounty hunter who is after vicious criminals of the Wild West. Despite its name and theme, it has no connection to the Western TV series Gunsmoke.

Gun.Smoke is similar to 1942 and Commando, also developed by Capcom, but with some differences. This game is a scrolling shooter in which the screen scrolls upward automatically and players only have three ways to shoot, using three buttons for left, right, and center shooting. The player can also change the way the gunman shoots through button combinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun.Smoke
