[AMSTRAD CPC] GunSmoke – Longplay & Review (aka Gun.Smoke / Desperado)
Xyphoe
Review and longplay / walkthrough for “Gun.Smoke” (aka GunSmoke / Desperado) on the Amstrad CPC!
An unofficial clone from a Spanish software company called “Desperado” of the Capcom arcade classic Gun.Smoke… actually becomes the official conversion on the Amstrad! After US Gold/Go! (with the UK Capcom conversion licence at the time) noticed it and probably realised they couldn’t do a better job of it! Because of that though, there’s a lot of differences between this and the arcade original, but it plays a very similar game! Looks nice and very well presented, but with a severe program design flaw with enemy placement and AI….
Nice ending sequence though!!
(There was also a sequel released – Desperado 2 – but only in Spain I believe, I might take a look at that!)
