Publisher: Ocean · Developer: A.B. Spencer & S. Wiggins · Genre: Shooter

Highnoon puts you in the boots of a sheriff defending his town from outlaws trying to rob the bank or kidnap women from Saucy Sue's Saloon. With revolver in hand, you shoot in multiple directions as increasingly dangerous waves of bandits charge on horseback, toss dynamite or hide behind windows. After each cleared wave, the undertaker arrives to carry away the fallen. In the final showdown, you confront the gang at the entrance to their cave – and every stage ends with a tense bonus duel where only the fastest draw prevails.
