Gun.Smoke is a vertically scrolling run-and-gun shooter developed and published by Capcom for the NES, ported from the 1985 arcade original. Set in the Old West, players control bounty hunter Billy through six auto-scrolling stages, shooting outlaws in three firing directions, buying weapons and horses from townsfolk, and collecting Wanted posters to free the town of Hicksville from the Wingate gang.
