I found this interesting Western video game called Gun.Smoke created the year of 1985. I used to play this shooting arcade video game with my brother when I was little, and to be honest I had no idea that this video game was a Western genre, and it is impressive to know this now as I find it very interesting. In this game the character to play as, is a considered a cowboy and while on the game it uses a horse as well, so they technically play together as a team. The game consists to this cowboy as it appears that he takes the law into his own hands against the bad guys. The game contains a three-way shooting system, which sometimes it might limit the player’s control, but it is enough to get the bad guys and also the horse is a great help as it protects the player for at least three shots in a row.
Now that I kind of understand the game better, the cowboy is a symbol of the idealized man, the hero that seeks to get off the bad guys and see a better world. As I mentioned above, the primary character of the video game is a cowboy who tries to kill the bad guys and seeks to bring order to the uncivilized place. In addition, his figure of a cowboy is complete as the horse is always with him and is trying to help him to achieve his goals, to take down the bad guys and to win the game. Comparing it to the actual definition of a cowboy on a western genre means that this cowboy is trying to do something good for the world and also take action into his own hands.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx0GnNPK0nE
