Space Cowboy is video game written by Scott Lamb for the Atari 8-bit family and published by Avalon Hill Microcomputer Games in 1983.[1]
Gameplay[]
Space Cowboy is a game in which the Space Cowboy maneuvers along a three-quarter perspective walkway, dodging blasts from lasers mounted in the wall.[2]
Reception[]
Bill Wallace reviewed Space Cowboy in Space Gamer No. 70.[2] Wallace commented that "The action is idiotic, wooden, boring after only a couple of minutes of play. If you'd never seen Zaxxon the three-quarter perspective would be interesting, though it doesn't really contribute to play."[2]
