Hi Dark,
You know I have never really cared for human speech in games. I really do
prefer the sapi5 speech. You know other than the little bits of human speech
like Homer saying Woo hoo, Doh etc. And I really do not care for the heavy
western accent. I do very much like shows such as Bonanza, Big Valley, Gun
Smoke, Rifleman etc, but they do not have that heavy western accent like that.
But, so, if a western game such as you suggested would work with sapi5 speech...

Well it's an interesting genre and setting for games, and could fit either
an action or stratogy game fairly well.
One game I remember on the old Amstrad computer which would make a very nice
audio convertion was a game called Kane.
You were a desperado riding into the town of cane attempting to rob a bank.
The first stage was you out in the desert, trying to get some provisions for
lunch by targiting and shooting chickens with a bow and arrow duck hunt
style, ---- accept that as well as your moving horrizontal and vertical
targit you also ran around the bottom of the screen so the arrow fired
upwards, making the mechanics quite different.
Then, you rode your horse to cane and had to jump fences and cacti, arcade
style.
Then, you got the shoot out, which was similar to bow and arrow accept that
the marshal's men defending the bank fired back if you were too slow.
Finally, you were trying to catch up to the train out of town, which was
another horse riding stage, accept that as well as jumping over stuff you
had to keep up with the on going train.
I think Jim or someone could create an awsome homer like game along those
lines fairly easily, and it's a fun setting to play around in.
Beware the gRue!
DArk.
