remember playing Sunset Riders on the arcade in a rest stop on the Turnpike on the way to Disney.

Also, Live A Live has a short western-themed chapter. You grab materials and help the townspeople set up traps to defeat a bunch of bandits, and kill off anybody who wasn't defeated by the traps.

I feel like everyone is thinking "Call of Juarez" but nobody is saying it.

And for the shock value, there's Custer's Revenge:

Actually AITD3 was the first thing that came to mind. The second one that came to mind was Wanted for the SMS. It's an excellent light gun shooter.

I was trying to set it up on a lan and the boxes would see each other but not connect. I do not remember the error code it would give off hand. It confused myself and several of my IT friends. By all means the game should have worked. Outlaws is one of the few FPS's from that era I want to replay - its just so awesome.

I never got into that game. Not bad, but nothing really amazing either. I should try the new one, I heard they did a better job. Better than Gun anyway.

Oh yeah, I wasn't even thinking of light gun games.

Blood was one mental game. But was it really all that western?
