Highly inscrutable but it’s got a really nice heavy knob on it.
Played at Galloping Ghost Arcade.

Possibly the first escort objective in a game? Mostly a simple vertical shooter with bad shooting and the gimmick of protecting the train that travels up the tracks vertically in a straight line and does nothing else. Also, the top down perspective is really poorly implemented here which makes the bandits look like they're riding horses that are bouncing on pogo sticks.

Consegue realizar o que se espera de uma fantasia de faroeste com até mais detalhes do que eu esperava, fiquei levemente impressionado. Mas ô bichinho janky.

The concept is pretty neat, but too clunky and hard to discern that it falls flat on its face.
