💯 agreed. Also funny how we used to think it would get better in the future, with better tech - turned out we were living right in the golden age. You can never fully understand what you have until it's gone. Cheers to everyone who was part of it 🥂
I’m 38 years old and this music still plays in my head out of nowhere from time to time just remembering watching my brother play this. He bought this game in 1988, beat it in one day then Returned to Mann’s or Zaire’s. One those old stores.
Lam Pham so true. It’s funny how in 2019 we have all these huge ass open world games with amazing graphics and still NES has some of the best games to date.
@@jhed_maniac8489 but "wouldn't have been existed" is just an egregious misuse of English. I can't fathom how you're okay with it haha not to insult you, you could be way smarter than I am and know several languages.
oh boy, can't even remember how many nights of sleep this game took from me! Great game, great fun!!! People who say Dark Souls is difficult never played 80's games!
These days if someone's stuck on a level they would just look it up on YT. Back then it was days upon days of frustration followed by a sense of accomplishment when we cleared that level.
Clint Eastwood is still and always be my favourite cowboy hero. I always thought about him when I played this game. Such a perfect and balanced game! Man... I miss those times.... :)
@Skye Reynolds That's sad. They should have stayed retro and had the image of James Arness as Matt Dillon. I used to watch the show with grandpa and play the game in the late '80s. I still play it! Oh well, you can't take the memories from the game. 😊
@Skye Reynolds You're right! I never even thought of the little bullet being between Gun and Smoke. Both the show and game bring back great memories. 😊 Take care and thanks for pointing that out btw!
14:31 Cracked myself up. I came across this video and I thought "Wow! I remember this from when I was really really little, but I think when I was little I thought the bad guys were ninjas. Ha! That's silly. A cowboy fighting ninjas." And then I got to this part and I'm dying laughing. You DO fight ninjas!
Gun.smoke. I used to play this at the Mining Camp, which has been burned down and never to be rebuilt. This was a great restaurant and I wish that the city had allowed them to rebuild it.
THE ONLY YDARG I beat this game in 30 min on Vizzed ( I used save-state).......the music is fantastic. All Nes games are 741 but until now I finished 316. My plan is to finish all nes games. Nes games are difficult but if you use save-state is easy. Go to vizzed and try.
Shopkeepers: Crap, these Wingates are stealing our money! Let’s hide our money in barrels so they can’t find it. Lone Gunman shots barrels and takes the money.
My Brother In-laws Mothers Second Husband was in his 50s and played the hell out of the NES. He loved 3 games in particular which were The Adventures Of Link, Gunsmoke and Tertris. I used to play him on Tetris and had a blast and though I never got into the Link game I was however into Gunsmoke. He could beat the game losing only 1 life. He had mastered it and used to teach me how to play and where all the Warrants were. On my 12th birthday my Sister stopped by there house on the way to take me to a Panchos mexican restaurant where my Family was waiting and Lee was home and said "I did not know it was your Birthday here hang on a second. He then brought me Gunsmoke and told me to take it. I said no because he loved the game and he said "Yea but you love it too and you can always bring it over and play me at it if you want. I used to take it over there and play him whenever I got the chance. He has passed on a great many years now but I still have that game and play it every now and then. I am 42 and still have not mastered it where I can beat it with only losing 1 life. I did come close beating it losing only 2. It always amazed me when I saw an adult playing the Nintendo when I was young. Back then it was just for kids mainly unlike Today. I am inlove with Zelda games except for a few like Adventures Of Link but I never thought I would come to love Gunsmoke of all games. Just fun and straight forward and not rigged to beat you like a lot of games were for Nintendo.
Woof. Nostalgia. That opening music took me back to sitting in front of an ancient little box and playing the NES with my dad. Well, kinda. I associate this and tiger heli (that's an antique!) With my old man.
Capcom legend here. Still have it, still play it on my NES. What i like about this playthrough is the OP actually dies. No cheats, nothing fake, standard button mash and run. This shows the unforgiving difficulty level of Capcom games.
Thanks for uploading this video. This game is a special hit not only of the game design but especially for the music played in every stages and boss fight. This was my all time favourite game during my childhood.. ❤️ Great...
I used to play this game as a kid all the time and could never get past the 3rd level. I don’t even remember having fun playing it; what I REMEMBER is dying multiple times on level 1 just before reaching Bandit Bill
Gun Smoke walked so Sunset Riders could run. On an interesting note, a 30,000 dollar bounty in 1865 is like almost 600k today lol. These dudes were like Osama bin laden wanted.
I played this game when I was 6-7 my dad was also loved this and played with me with our atari. This game made me a fan of western genre now. This game always returns me to my childhood. Such a good game and soundtracks. Also greetings from Turkey.
I watch a lot of these and I love them because they always look so good on the screen. I have my original NES and still play it and have Gunsmoke. Despite being played on my 50inch HD Tv I bought last year it never looks as good as it does on TH-cam when I watch a playthrough.
Back on old day I will play this game at my friend's home. If Im not mistaken I suddenly hump this game's music for a couples of years ago and until that I have searched the source of music.But today I have figured the source of music come from this game. Thank you :')
@@handsomejas105 Capcom started development of a sequel to Gun smoke that fell through. It was then somehow picked up by Rockstar that eventually became red dead revolver, and so on
@@Dannzt as far as I remember, angel studios was tasked with development of red dead revolver initially, under capcom, however, angel studios was approached by rockstar due to angel studios' impressive work on the game "Midtown Madness" (which I spent a good chunk of my childhood playing). In around 2002, angel studios was acquired by take-two (rockstar's parent company) and hence, was renamed to rockstar San Diego, inc.
@@V-for-Vendetta01 Makes me wonder how things would have transpired had Angel Studios still worked on Red Dead Revolver with Capcom. I wonder what direction the series would have taken?
If you go through the boulders twice and Don't pick up the wanted poster, you can find a hidden horse after the pow about 2 ridges later before the 2 cacti on the left.
Este juego me trae mucha infancia 😊😉😄 que buenos recuerdos cuando yo me vestia de vaquero y jugaba siempre este juego de vaqueros que buenos tiempos 😊😙😁😁😄😃😎
Loved Gunsmoke on the Nes it felt like a proper arcade game, remember coming back from Manchester with it on the train while listening to Dio on my walkman.
Bore me beyond belief, and space Invaders was a lot more fun though not to set the people who play this game against me to each his own unless it's harmful why not play games that you like,as the past is often the present fad.
You got to give it up to this game here, this game has pretty good sound track. When I watched this video, the more I remember the time when I played this game. But yet, I still have questions too. Questions: why the player didn’t help anyone in the stage? What is the purpose of riding the horse actually? Certain items in the game I really don’t know what are those for...such as poster and red spinning wheel ( I do know the blue spinning wheel though..it is invincible mode) Why this game never able to let player shoot backward but still setting the enemy coming from the back? And at last, what is the relation with ninja when the stage is actually in western US of 1849?
Not sure what you mean by the player helping anyone? The horse gave you another couple hits so you didnt die. Blue spinning wheel made you invincible and red gave you another life. Poster was needed to reach the end boss otherwise the level goes on forever
13:40 Ahahahaha you got hit!! ^^ I got hit by him a few times too ^^ Damn difficult to predict their exact trajectory at times... great music at that boss ....

Capcom never disappoints.
@Tucker Latham Oops! Hate to leave a misspelling dangling for a year.
But you can't discount Capcom either!
Better than the arcade ost, honestly. Watched an arcade play through yesterday, but it just wasn't the same
I came here to listen to the music lol

And in 2018...
This game became..
Red Dead Redemption 2
No, more like The town with no name.
Thank you been trying to find it on my new NES I got
Lol true
I didn't see ninja in RDR2.....another DLC?
I was think it evolved into sunset riders.. Then the final form is red dead lol
That stage one music...one of the songs of the soundtracks of my life. Nostalgia overload.
Indeed!!!
That's my favorite music too! Stage 1
I’m 38 years old and this music still plays in my head out of nowhere from time to time just remembering watching my brother play this. He bought this game in 1988, beat it in one day then Returned to Mann’s or Zaire’s. One those old stores.
My favorite nes games, this game and contra is better than super mario in my opinion
There are honestly a boatload of games that are better than mario on the nes.
Lam Pham so true. It’s funny how in 2019 we have all these huge ass open world games with amazing graphics and still NES has some of the best games to date.

Very old game. Brings a lot of memories.
I played this game in 92 or 93 and the music of first level is still in my mind!
The Red Dead series wouldn't have been existed if it wasn't for this game.

Badass game!!
Dificult is because we are kids backthen
This game isn't really that difficult. Took me about 2,5 hours to beat.
These days if someone's stuck on a level they would just look it up on YT. Back then it was days upon days of frustration followed by a sense of accomplishment when we cleared that level.
This game only took 30min to finish? It seem like 30days back in the 80s...
It's because it was much easier to die. There wasn't a save file so you had to restart from the beginning when all limited lives ended.
holamoco17 thanks for stating the obvious...
30 days were a mild nuisance back then, compared to Ghost'n goblins that felt like 3 years to finish
Luke Perry lmao asshole
Time changes perception!
That intro and soundtrack.... LEGENDARY
I remember feeling so accomplished after I beat this. I'd play this game for hours. Back this it was so hard but now it's a ton of fun memories.
this game fucked me up as a kid, it broke my heart when the little horsey died

it wasn't the inspiration, red dead revolver is supposed to be the sequel to gun.smoke
@@ari-mariberry Spiritual Successor.
😤👌
Way better than RD
All I can say is the shotgun is your best friend for the Death Mountain stage. Kudos for getting pass the stage without it. 👍👍
I used to stay up until 4am playing this game.
It was awsome

This game is so old, but really fun and I still play it to this day!
what a music!!!
As a kid I used to play this game for the music!
The second stage music sounds like If you had a bad day and this played then you would smile and just start skipping 😁
Gun.smoke. I used to play this at the Mining Camp, which has been burned
down and never to be rebuilt. This was a great restaurant and I wish
that the city had allowed them to rebuild it.
this game is the shit, many hours spent playing this. great upload

*N O S T A L G I A*
I was addicted to this game back in the 80s. Thanks for posting.
Probably one of the few games where each boss has his own theme
"He cruzado océanos de tiempo para encontrarte" ... me encanta ese juego
ya somos 2 Amo este game tmb, muchos bellos recuerdos de los mejores de ese stylo, la parte del comanche q dificil era
Shopkeepers: Crap, these Wingates are stealing our money! Let’s hide our money in barrels so they can’t find it.
Lone Gunman shots barrels and takes the money.
Then Geralt from the Witcher 3 loots items from the shop 😁
The background in the intro was nostalgia
Ahh I miss those old days just sitting around and play without any worries. Now the time is changing and become worst and worst everyday 😪

Victor Zapata Yeah but "braveness" at 30:48? Not the best English.
@@edwardgaines6561 That happened a lot on the NES, due to most game developers at the time being japanese.

Crazy that if it wasn’t for this game we wouldn’t have any of the the Red Dead games

14:35 Why are there *ninjas* in a Western shoot 'em up? I've heard of spaghetti westerns, but SOBA westerns?
Having samurais would've been funnier.
LOL
Gun smoke reminds me of commando. It's a hard one to beat. I wonder if James Arness beat it b4 he died. LOL 🤠
FINALLY, someone remembered James Arness played Matt Dillon, not Clint Eastwood lol
And there was Desperados on PC - also stealth-oriented real-time tactics and very similar to Commandos
I remember borrowing this from a friend and it was such a badass game. My dad beat it before I did.
Wow your run was amazing. I still cant get past comanche village but ill keep trying.
You can do it!
Red Dead Redemption's ancestor.
La infancia de muchos nosotros 🤠👌🏻🌵
Never made it too Ninja Darts myself. It was my older brothers game, he played it more than I did.
Capcom nailed with an underrated classic!

Questions:
why the player didn’t help anyone in the stage?
What is the purpose of riding the horse actually?
Certain items in the game I really don’t know what are those for...such as poster and red spinning wheel ( I do know the blue spinning wheel though..it is invincible mode)
Why this game never able to let player shoot backward but still setting the enemy coming from the back?
And at last, what is the relation with ninja when the stage is actually in western US of 1849?
Not sure what you mean by the player helping anyone?
The horse gave you another couple hits so you didnt die.
Blue spinning wheel made you invincible and red gave you another life. Poster was needed to reach the end boss otherwise the level goes on forever
remembering my childhood
Thank you for this 😁 brings back good memories
Love how the occasional ninja is thrown into a game about cowboys and Indians
А что делает ниндзя в диком западе?
Amaba la primera canción yo era muy pequeño cuando lo jugaba que recuerdos este y los soundtrack de supercampeones los mejores.
One of my top 5 NES games, good PT
13:40 Ahahahaha you got hit!! ^^ I got hit by him a few times too ^^ Damn difficult to predict their exact trajectory at times... great music at that boss ....
Gaming through the ps2 is just the best. Never bought a 360, one or the new consoles. I am forever embedded into what we call "retro" gaming now.
A part of my childhood
I remember this game. I used to love this game. damn I'm getting old😥🤦♂️
i love this game so much played it a lot when i was a kid :D
Seriously brings back memorjes. Something related to street figjter two broight me here
