High Noon (video Game)
High Noon is a Shoot 'em up game for the Commodore 64, created by Ocean Software in 1984.
The game has five levels. The player takes the role of the good (white) sheriff in the American Old West. He must defend his town against outlaws looking to abduct women from the local "Saucy Sue's Saloon" and rob the local bank, by shooting them. Shooting can be done in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction.
Famous quotes containing the words high and/or noon:
“There is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“At noon in the desert a panting lizard
waited for history, its elbows tense,
watching the curve of a particular road
as if something might happen.”
—William Stafford (1914–1941)
