Gun Fight, known as Western Gun[a] in Japan[3][1] and Europe,[4] is a 1975 multidirectional shooter arcade video game designed by Tomohiro Nishikado,[5] and released by Taito in Japan[3] and Europe[4] and by Midway in North America.[3][5] Based around two Old West cowboys armed with revolvers and squaring off in a duel, it was the first video game to depict human-to-human combat.[6] The Midway version was also the first video game to use a microprocessor instead of TTL.[6][7] The game's concept was adapted from Sega's 1969 arcade electro-mechanical game Gun Fight.
The game was a global commercial success. In Japan, Western Gun was among the top ten highest-grossing arcade video games of 1976. In the United States, Gun Fight sold 8,600 arcade cabinets and was the third highest-grossing arcade game of 1975, second highest-grossing arcade game of 1976 and fifth highest arcade game of 1977.
It was ported to the Bally Astrocade video game console[8] as a built-in game[9] in 1977[10] and later the Atari 8-bit computers.[11]
