Just like watching the film... no really

Comments:

A Laserdisc game based on the Clint Eastwood movie. You remember Laserdisc games? You know, like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Road Avenger. They were the games that were cartoons/movies that you had very little control over, you just pushed the correct button when the screen promted you to. This was the first one Atari made and it featured footage of the movie and all you were allowed to do was move a cursor around a shoot at the targeted enemies. The game came in an upright cabinet or a cockpit shaped one that you sat in which added to the overall experience. As with all of Atari's movie based arcade's this one uses large amounts of the films music and speech to create a real sense of interaction. Unfortunately this being a laserdisc game there is very little actual interaction which is what ultimately damages your enjoyment.
