Gunfighter Magnavox Odyssey 2 Prototype
Gunfighter also know as Showdown in 2100 A.D. is a game released on the Magnavox Odyssey 2 in 1979. In an authentic acre of the old west, two gunslingers (human or android) must duel for their lives, each one with six bullets in his gun. Trees are scattered about the surrounding terrain.
Each player has to hit his opponent ten times in order to win. At each hit, both players get their guns reloaded. They can also reload their guns anytime by taking the hidden bullets in the tree that matches their outfit.
The bullets will ricochet in the trees and the top and bottom edges of the screen, thus the players can hit themselves with their own bullets, which results in a hit point for thier opponent. It can also be used as a strategy to hit your opponent in a non direct trajectory.
