Cowboy Gun Game?

Re: Cowboy Gun Game?

Glad you know what I'm talking about, it was a cross between both these games! .

Yes, the cowboy verson had a bumpy sand-coloured terrain with paths marked by dotted lines. There were a brown and a black set of figures.
Replacing the cannon in the naval game were, as you say, pistols which had a downward extension with a rounded end which fitted a dimple one at each side of the board.
(Unless my memory is misbehaving: a possibility not to be totally discounted.)

We had a lot of fun with Armada and I always kept an eye out for its brother game, but never found it.

Good luck!

Glad you know what I'm talking about, it was a cross between both these games! I'll carry on my search, but Sheriffs and Outlaws sounds familiar.

Anyway, thanks a lot guys and thanks for the effort of responding.

Re: Cowboy Gun Game?

I know *exactly* what you mean, but never saw the game (Sheriffs and Outlaws?) for real.

It was a picture (of "other products in this line" type) on the box of a game I had of a naval battle, called "Armada", with the similar idea: 3-d plastic board (in my case two boards, probably also the cowboy game ) with a cannon in each corner. It wasn't just a shooting gallery.

Wow! one is up on eBay at the moment. Out of my price league for a game, currently.

Re: Cowboy Gun Game?

Lordy, that rings bells! but can't recall off top of head. First thing I thought of was Ideal's Gunfight At The OK Corral, but after finding the pictures, its seems not.
(just seems a western themed version of Crossfire)








Will keep looking as I do remember this one

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help me remember the name of a game I used to have as a kid back in the late 70's. It was a large plastic moulded board with terrain all over it, in 2 of the corners were hills with indents where you would rest your revolver-type gun. The gun was spring loaded and shot little plastic, realistic looking bullets and had a small arm on the bottom (to insert into the hills). Two players would put little model cowboys all over the terrain and you'd take turns trying to shoot them. It was such a good game back then, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. Thanks in advance!
