- High noon -
|
|
In the earliest days of computer
and videogames you didn't need an elaborate plot or fancy graphics to reel
in the players, it was all a simple you shoot them or you collect this type
of game. High noon is just such a game and the point of it is real simple,
you are the sheriff of the local town and you must shoot all the bandits
before they shoot you or rob the bank. The only other person who can be
seen during the shootouts is the undertaker as he is the only one who can
profit from all this shooting.
The game starts with you standing at the center of town and you'll quickly
find that badguys are pouring in from all directions. Some will take a couple
of shots at you and try to rob the bank but others will come at you until
either you or they are shot. Be carefull because one shot is all it takes
to go down and you'll find yourself being dragged away by the undertaker.
The aim is simple and all the baddies have to be shot before you can end
the level at which point you are challenged to a draw by their leader, win
and continue, lose and end up three feet under.
This is exactly the type of game you'd expect from the early/mid eighties
when games were still at their infancy. The graphics are very simple and
it has gameplay to match, the addition of the undertaker dragging away all
the bodies is a nice touch though. There is a tune at the start of the game
which is quite catchy and you won't forget that anytime soon. For those
who remember this game it will bring back some memories and it's worth a
go for old time sake. If only there were a two-player mode...
Overal rating: 7/10
