Hi!

I was thinking why no one has ever done Gunsmoke before. One reason is pretty obvious, itŽs not really a timeattack game. However I think itŽs one of the coolest games ever and that it would make a good aesthic movie. So here I am, avoiding bullets, shooting "very little" and also makes cool drive by's! I discovered a cool glitch ;) If you press left + down + right at the same time the character gets an incredible speed, running to the right of the screen. This results in some cool drive by's ;)

Hmm. ItŽs a pretty long game but itŽs basically completed as fast as possible. I could have bought some weapons maybe to kill some bosses faster but wth, IMO itŽs cooler to just humilate them with the 2 guns you have from start ;)

Also, this is not Gradius. The gunman doesnŽt move as fast or precise as the Gradius ship. But I think I made it look pretty cool. Also I got a high score.

Bisqwit: I watched about half of this movie. I think this game does not have the same potential that Gradius has.
You did do what you claimed, but it doesn't look like the game is difficult enough to keep a savestate user busy. Also, your "humiliation" was mostly consisted of "killing enemies now" and "killing enemies later". Sometimes it was even "letting them go".
There were lots of excess movements which weren't cool in the same way as in Gradius.
Despite the fact that this could be the last NES Gunsmoke movie the world ever will see, I'm not positive about publishing this one.
