Projection Screen Lightgun Shoot-out-type Live Action Old West Arcade Game?

[Fort Apocalypse]

Hey, I just had this memory from an arcade game I played in the early 80s (I think). (Edit: may have been late 80s)

 

I remember it being an arcade game that was a shooter with a lightgun where the player had to shoot at (at least from what I remember) a projection screen. Basically it was a shootout in the wild west where you'd have to wait for the whites of their eyes (which looked like a flash in the eyes of the cowboy bad guy you were shooting at before you were allowed to shoot him). I would've thought it was a laserdisc game, but I don't remember seeing it in a list of any laserdisc games I've ever seen. It wasn't a cartoon (so it wasn't Badlands). It was live-action, somewhat like a movie filmed in the 70s/80s version of the old west. It was a fairly large game too iirc (as you'd expect from something with a projection screen). I remember being fairly nervous because you had to wait for the flash in their eyes and then shoot, and usually I'd get shot first.

 

Anyone remember this game or remember the name of this game or anything about it?

I think I may have found it, but I'm not sure. Is it Shootout at Old Tuscon? I could have sworn that it was not a cabinet game, but was a larger projection screen game (where the projector was in the front and you stood behind the thing and shot at a screen that was 3-4 ft away from you. Maybe it was a prototype? I can't find any pictures of the prototype. Also I didn't find any references to "shoot when you see the whites of their eyes".

Hmm. Maybe not. American Laser Games had a few different laserdisc shooting games like that:

* Mad Dog McCree (1990)

* Mad Dog 2 (1992)

* Fast Draw Showdown (1994)

* The Last Bounty Hunter (1994)

* Shootout at Old Tuscon (1994)

 

However, I don't know which one had the "whites of their eyes" and used a large open projection screen. From looking at the youtube videos, I don't see any of them in which you had to first see the whites of their eyes (a really obvious glimmer of light that flashed from their face) on an old large projection screen before you could shoot them.

 

Anyone know which one I'm talking about?

I'm guessing no one remembers the game with the cowboys that you had to wait for a very obvious glimmer (flash) in their eye before shooting them.

 

Anyone know another forum/site where someone might know?

This topic is years old but i remember this game at Castle Park in Sepulveda, Ca. I think it was the late 70's because i was so young i had to hold the heavy gun wuth both hands to do it while my dad would keep it holstered and draw it when the eyes flashed. It was a big projecton game. Kind of like the first big screen tvs used to be. I cant remember the name of it though.

I was kinda hoping the name would have been "Projection Screen Lightgun Shoot-out-type Live Action Old West Arcade Game." I'd definitely give a game named that a few quarters.
