Gun Fight
Gun Fight is a 1975 multidirectional shooter arcade video game released by Midway in North America. It is based on Western Gun, designed by Tomohiro Nishikado and released by Taito in Japan and Europe. Based around two Old West cowboys armed with revolvers and squaring off in a duel, it was the first video game to depict human-to-human combat. The Midway version was also the first video game to use a microprocessor instead of TTL. The game's concept was adapted from Sega's 1969 arcade electro-mechanical game Gun Fight.

Where Gun Fight sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Gun Fight lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 20ahead of 0% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 19ahead of 66% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Gun Fight
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
