Talk more about cowboy games! Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption, the Call of Juarez series, Sunset Riders, Wild Arms, Gun, Tin Star, Outlaws, Darkwatch, Gun Fight, Alone in the Dark 3, Cowboy Kid, Custer's Revenge, The Lone Ranger, Samurai Western, Mad Dog McCree! Why is this era of American history that garnered massive attention during the first fifty years of American popular cinema so largely neglected by an industry that would seem to enjoy its pioneering aspects, the action and adventure, the tales of ferocious gunplay, self-reliance, and American mythology?
You didn't list Wild Guns, probably the best Cowboy game ever. Unless that was already discussed on podcast? I'm a bit behind
I don't think the whole Western thing is that popular these days in any region, but it was never the most popular genre over here anyhow. Perhaps the Western just isn't considered that interesting to most non-American cultures?
