[NOTE:] Use Joystick in Port 1. This
is an [old] game.
Cooper is Hollywood's perfect
hero, the very embodiment of integrity
and grace in this greatest of
Westerns. As a newly married town
marshal, he must balance an innate
sense of justice and duty with loyalty
to his beautiful new -- and pacifist
-- bride when he is left by an
ungrateful town to face a gang of
deadly outlaws alone.
As we watch spellbound, film time
is real time as the showdown grows
ever closer. A masterpiece. Frequently
interpreted as a parable about artists
left to "stand alone" and face
persecution during the (United States
Congress) House Un-American
Activities Committee Hollywood
blacklisting.
John Wayne once declared High Noon
un-American. He was apparently
offended by the ending of the film,
which shows Sheriff Kane removing his
badge and tossing it in the dirt. (And
we wonder why boys who are not
"masculine" enough become psychiatric
basket cases!)
Of course, none of this has
anything at all to do with the video
game. If anyone knows the history
(author, publisher, etc) of this
cowtown shoot 'em up, drop me a line!
