The player characters used in the game represented avatars for the players, and would yell "Got me!" when one of them is shot. It was also the first known video game to feature game characters and fragments of story through its visual presentation, marking the beginning of cinematic elements in video games. Unlike later games, Western Gun has the main joystick on the right instead of the left. The game also introduced dual-stick controls, using two distinct joystick controls per player, with one eight-way joystick for moving the computerized cowboy around on the screen and the other for changing the shooting direction. It also introduced video game violence, being the first video game to depict human-to-human combat, and the first to depict a gun on screen. Western Gun was the first on-foot, multi-directional shooter, that could be played in single-player or two-player. Western Gun (1975) was the first on-foot shooter and the first open-world video game. The game was included in GameSpy's "Hall of Fame" in 2002. Unlike in a real-life duel, however, both cowboys get numerous opportunities to duel in order to score points (one point per successful draw). Whoever shoots the other cowboy first wins the duel. The theme of the game involves two Old West cowboys armed with revolvers and squaring off in a duel. It was also the first tactical shooter, with elements of real-time strategy/ tactics. It was the first on-foot shooter, the first on-foot multi-directional shooter, introduced human combat, was the first open-world video game, and the first action/ adventure video game. Western Gun, also known as Gun Fight in North America, is a 1975 arcade shooter game designed by Tomohiro Nishikado, and released by Taito in Japan and Europe.
