Gameplay

Step into the rugged landscape of the Wild West in Wanted, a cooperative third-person shooter released by Sigma Enterprises in 1984. Players take on the roles of renegade cowboys facing relentless attacks from multiple adversaries, including Native American warriors, Mexican bandits, and notorious outlaws. The action unfolds across varied Western settings as you work together to eliminate enemies and progress through increasingly challenging levels. Gameplay involves maneuvering your cowboy character using an 8-way joystick while utilizing a single button for firing at approaching threats. Hostiles swarm from all directions, demanding quick reflexes and coordinated teamwork between players. The game's vertical screen displays the action in a resolution of 224 x 256 pixels, rendered with a palette of 256 colors, accompanied by sound effects generated by General Instrument AY8910 chips. Wanted offers a straightforward yet engaging arcade experience focused on survival and cooperation amidst the dangers of the frontier. Two players can join forces to battle their way through the Wild West in this shooter released for arcades over four decades ago.
