Big Challenge! Gun Fighter cover (1989) 🔗


The cover for this Famicon Disk System exclusive action game kinda makes you wonder if there weren't enough actual western movies around to imitate for the cover, but maybe the logic was that Clint Eastwood had been in a bunch of westerns as well, so him as Dirty Harry was close enough. This one's not an exact copy, but I think the gun hand and overall posture are enough to make this a confirmed hit.
