| − | The original version was one of Nintendo's early electro-mechanical [[arcade game]]s released in [[1974 in video gaming|1974]]. It consisted of a light gun connected to a [[16 mm film|16mm]] projection screen. An image of a [[Wild West]] gunslinger was projected onto the screen and when his eyes flashed, the player needed to draw and shoot. If the player was fast enough the projection would change to that of the shot gunman falling down, otherwise it would show the gunman drawing and firing his gun. A piece of [[Chopin]]'s "[[Funeral March]]" indicates the player's defeat. |

| − | The second version had a plastic gunman figure mounted on top of a plastic battery box called ''Custom Gunman'', which later became one of the microgames in the [[Nintendo Game Boy Advance]] title, ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' |

||
| − | An updated [[video game]] version of the game was released in the arcades in [[1984 in video gaming|1984]], replacing photographic images with cartoon-style video game sprites. In this version the player also waited for the opponent's eyes to flash (accompanied by a [[speech bubble]] reading "FIRE!!") before shooting. This was the first NES game that used [[voice synthesis]].{{Fact|date=September 2008}} It also featured a [[shooting gallery]] where opponents had to be shot from the windows of a [[Western saloon|saloon]]. It was available on the [[PlayChoice 10]] system, and also as a two-player [[Nintendo Vs. Series|Vs. Series]] version. The [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version for use with the [[NES Zapper|Zapper]] peripheral was released in Japan the same year, and in the [[United States|US]] on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[1985]]. The Famicom version was also available packaged with a plastic, western-style revolver accessory (modelled after the [[Colt Single Action Army]]) that could be used instead of the Zapper. |
