MetalGun Slinger is a 2D action/platformer with a heavy emphasis on shooting developed by unknown (and maybe defunct) software house Atmark.

Aside from the cool-sounding name, what's on offer is a traditional platformer with a few neat ideas which make it worth playing.

For one thing, the Western setting mixed with the attractive manga artwork is refreshing considering that not many games seem to use it. Also when exploring a level, you'll sometimes come across wanted fugitives. Capture four of them and you'll be rewarded with an extra health star. This bounty system is a welcome addition and motivates the player to explore levels more in-depth.
