Gun.Smoke (not to be confused with the Western radio and TV series) is a vertically-scrolling Shoot 'Em Up, developed by Capcom and originally released as an Arcade Game in 1985. It was later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System and numerous contemporary 8-bit computer gaming systems.Unlike most shoot'em-ups at that time, players control a gunman walking on feet and move between the grounds. He can shoot diagonally when the players move him sideways.A family of outlaws known as the Wingates stroll into a peaceful frontier town and kill its sheriff, plunging it into lawlessness and making it easy prey for bandit raids. It's left to a lone gunman to fight back against the Wingates and restore order.It received a Spiritual Successor in 2004 called Red Dead Revolver, and that received a Spiritual Successor 6 years later called Red Dead Redemption, followed by its prequel eight years after the release of the first RDR.For games with similar concepts, see Sunset Riders and Guwange.

comment
No Hero Discount: In the NES version, the villagers gladly sell items and weapons. Darn good, but you'd think they'd give the gunman saving them a bit of leniency in terms of payment (especially since the money is also the game's score).

comment
Victory Fakeout: After Wingate is eliminated along with his goons, his theme starts up again as "he" was actually a body double, and then the real one appears. Though given that the game repeatedly refers to the Wingates in a plural sense, it's possible they're just brothers and you're fighting them one at a time.

Pixel Hunt: The wanted posters required to end the stage and fight the boss are hidden, so they must be shot and uncovered, otherwise the stage loops. You can buy them instead, but it's not worth the trouble.

Composite Character: Pig Joe and Fat Man from the arcades were compressed into a single boss, Fat Joe. Wingate, the final boss of the NES version, is a redesign of the Arcade version's eighth boss Los Pubro with the Wingate family's name.
