My pet project on Wikipedia: A list of video game Westerns

[rag-time4]

Just thought I would share this with you all in case anyone else was interested.. I've been fooling around with this lately instead of doing my readings for school as much as I should be hehe

If anyone knows of any games not on the list please add!

Wild Arms 4 doesn't have any western elements to it?  I haven't played thru it yet, so, I wouldn't know, but, I figure it's Wild Arms, there's got to be SOMETHING western about it, if only the music.

[Necromancer]

Where's Laplace No Ma?  Is it under an alternate name?

[rag-time4]

Thanks for the heads up on both of these... are they both westerns? I haven't played either one...

[Necromancer]

Word on the street was that Laplace No Ma has a western theme, at least in part, and while I actually own this title, I must admit that I haven't played it yet due to the language barrier.  A quick look on wikipedia reveals that it's a survival horror game set in town near Boston, so I must be wrong and you should ignore my post.

Paranoia D, a quick check on wikipedia says that Wild Arms 4 has a more modern theme... but looking at the official website it still looks historically themed enough to be late-era, turn of the century western...

Have you played it? I myself have not but if you have played it and think it qualifies I'll add it. (or add it yourself if you're so inclined  )

Necro, I actually can't find it on wiki? Any chance you can link me up? It looks like the Laplace No Ma entry on the wiki list of pc engine cd games needs to be fixed... because it goes to a dead page.

Edit: two quotes from two different users! Joe Redifer, eat your heart out!!!

You're missing Gunfighter:The Legend Of Jesse James for PS1. It's a bit "on-the-budget" but it has a good story and it's a lightgun shooter.

You're also missing the Lucky Luke games, there's one for PS1 and one for the Super Famicom.

Kitsune, thanks for the reminder on Gunfighter! There's actually a Europe only sequel, Gunfighter 2 for PS2. Forgot about those!

Never heard of Lucky Luke, I'm probably gonna have to get all these hehe

I haven't had a chance to play thru WA4 yet, it's possibly the next game I'll be playing thru, but, as far as I can tell, it still has Western themes in it, even if it is a more modern then the rest of the series.

[Necromancer]

Wiki link for Laplace No Ma.

You can add Duke Nukem: Time to Kill to the list.  I'm quite positive (this time) that you visit the old west while time traveling.

Thanks Necro.. I couldn't find Laplace because it's listed under its English title. I'll add a redirect for that.

I'll add the Duke Nukem game too... ahh I didn't know about that one!

Paranoia D, I added Wild Arms 4 with a note that it's got a turn of the century Western theme. Let me know your thoughts on it if you play it at all. The only Wild Arms game that I own and that I've played is the first one.

Wild Arms 4 really strayed quite a bit from the Western Theme of the first 3, there's barely enough "western" stuff there to call it a western game by a long shot.  I absolutely loved the game, but it really doesn't have anything western in it.  I know part 5 and Alter Code F (since it's a remake of the first one) have the western theme again like the first 3, part 4 was just an oddball in the series (even though it's my favorite one).

So GUTS, do you think my labelling it a "turn of the century Western" is inaccurate?
