description Fast Draw Showdown Overview
Fast Draw Showdown is a 1994 live-action laserdisc arcade game from American Laser Games. It places the player in an Old West setting and uses a mounted light gun for timed duels against filmed cowboy opponents. Success depends on drawing and firing at the correct moment, so the central challenge is reaction timing rather than exploration or character control. The game is an example of the interactive-movie format that combined prerecorded footage with light-gun action for arcade play.
