    Sheriff

    Game » consists of 6 releases. Released October 1979

    1979 arcade shooter by Nintendo where the player must fight sixteen surrounding desperadoes. A precursor to Donkey Kong, it was designed by Genyo Takeda, with assistance from Shigeru Miyamoto, working on his first video game. Possibly the first run & gun shooter, it also introduced the damsel-in-distress trope to gaming as well as continuous background music.
