Sheriff (video Game)
Sheriff (シェリフ?) also known as Bandido is an arcade game developed by Nintendo R&D1 in 1979, designed by Genyo Takeda with art by Shigeru Miyamoto. Some sources claim that Ikegami Tsushinki also did design work on Sheriff. It is one of the earliest Western-style video games developed (alongside Gun Fight). The player controls a county sheriff who must defend the town from bandits. It was a run and gun multi-directional shooter that featured dual-stick controls, with one joystick for movement and the other for aiming, and a large number of enemies shooting many bullets, paving the way for later dual-stick shooters such as Robotron: 2084 (1982), Smash TV (1991) and Geometry Wars (2003).
