Six-Gun Shootout (1985)

Relive your favorite Western gunfights with S.S.I.'s "Sixgun Shootout!" Each side (AI or player) controls a group of gunfighters, each with a unique set of statistics and weapons. The characters are fully customizable, and the ten scenarios are quite varied--from the O.K. Corral shootout to a simulated Indian attack on a wagon train.

There isn't much in the way of graphics or sound, but the gameplay (turn-based, keyboard command entry) is really fun. The fight goes on to the bitter end with realistic considerations like wounds and ammo. There is even dynamite--for destroying people and barriers. A great little strategy game with lots of color.
