Hello!
I'm trying to remember the name of a game I had when I was younger. It was white, it was available in the late 80's, and it had a wild west cowboy theme.

You controlled a man riding on a horse, and if I remember correctly you were moving up the screen vertically. You could aim the gun in different directions to shoot the bad guys.

What I remember most was the sound, which seemed to be a little more advanced than the average handheld game. It had some catchy tunes and good sound effects. Oh, and there was the constant clippity-clop sound of the horse as it ran. Smile

Is anyone famliar with this game?

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you so much Linda and Rik.

You're spot on, it was the rather generic sounding "Western Sheriff"

I used to play this one a lot back in the day, the memories are coming flooding back.

Excellent site by the way. Yessss! It's been fascinating seeing many of the electronic games which were so popular when I was younger.
