therevillsgames	Cowboy Amstrad Type In Does anyone recall a cowboy game type in on the Amstrad? What I am remembering is the classic blue background, with blocky cowboys and cactus, it was a 2 player game and when you fired your gun it would shoot off and if it hit the cactus it would change direction by 90 degrees... I think it was a type in but I've just gone thru most of the Amstrad Action magazines (https://archive.org/details/amstrad-action-magazine?&sort=titleSorter&page=2) but didnt find it in the Type In section...

Jayenkai	Nothing's springing to mind, although it is reminding me of Zzoom's project. Had a quick flick through my CPC archive, but nothing obvious is cropping up. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

therevillsgames	Yeah that's what has got me thinking about it was Zzoom's project...

rockford	I used to get Amstrad Computer User, Amstrad Action and AmTix (as well as many other publications - Your Computer, C&VG, Computer Weekly etc.) and do all the Amstrad type-ins. I don't recall that one at all.

therevillsgames	Hmmm, maybe it wasnt a type in - but I cant recall a bought game like that.

Jayenkai	Congrats!

rockford	Good find. I used to get Amstrad Action every month, but even with the image I can't remember that game. It was 30 years ago though!

Jayenkai	I have the first AA Covertape! \o/yeay\o/ I then had a giant gap before my next AA Covertape.. Our family was quite quite poor for a long time, once Dad dissapeared!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

therevillsgames	Use to love getting the AA Covertapes, we weren't well off so my 20p a week pocket money didnt go far so when we got the tapes it was a little bonus

rockford	I got a paper round and then a Saturday job so I could buy my mags.

Jayenkai	That's 'cos you're an old fart! By the time I was old enough for a job, we'd already moved on to the Amiga! Magazines were for Xmas, Birthday and Easter treats. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	You're not wrong! I started working at 13 and haven't stopped yet.

Jayenkai	I'm not built for work. 13 years working in an off-licence was enough to give me a brain tumour!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	That would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
