Remember a handheld game called WESTERN BAR?

Man, back in the late 80s, I used to be hook on this game. Not that I ever owned one, but I borrowed from a good friend of mine. I used to regularly without fail, visit his house during Raya, and also other days, to play this game, and also SUBMARINE. We did have Nintendo back then, but WESTERN BAR cut it for me. It is WAY better than TETRIS, which was created for losers.
I miss WESTERN BAR. Wonder if I could get my hands on this, just for old time’s sake. Hmmm…

Boy are we getting old… I played both Western Bar and Submarine before and I was totally hooked into it during my younger days. The best part is when the bad cowboy comes in and you have a bad a$$ duel with him in Western Bar. Same with Submarine, you have those big bombers to fight with. Thanks man for reminding me of how good life was back then…and for you info, I didn’t own any of the game also.

chrisau – Really? This game, and Submarine were the 2 biggies then.
puxape – Spot on on Western Bar, I can still remember the tune! LOL.
Xander – Yeah, that good old days, we’ve lost that good old feeling. Sigh.
Nick Phillips – Yup, simplicity at its best. I remember borrowing it from my friend, and kept on playing it like there’s no tomorrow. So addictive.

zaltan117 – Lucky bugger.
JOANNE – If I knew I would’ve bought myself one too. Maybe someone should start a collection of old-school games.
