An old game that was born in the arcades makes a comeback. No, it’s not Capcom’s Forgotten Worlds nor Konami’s Sunset Riders. At least the latter one has something in common. Yes, it’s about the wild west, but it’s not cartoon-looking. If you were at the arcades in 1991, you may remember Mad Dog McCree. It was easy to recognize because of one important feature: live-action. Digital Illusions and Majesco are bringing the game this time to the Wii. Mad Dog McCree is not the only title; Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold and The Last Bounty Hunter come with the original version.
Un viejo juego que nació en los “arcade” vuelve. No, no es Forgotten Worlds de Capcom o Sunset Riders de Konami. Por lo menos el último lleva algo en común. Sí, se trata del lejano oeste, pero no es a estilo de dibujos animados. Si estubieron en los “arcade” en 1991, quizás recuerden Mad Dog McCree. Era fácil de reconocer por una característica importante: “live-action” (en vivo; con actores reales). Digital Illusions y Majesco traen este juego esta vez al Wii. Mad Dog McCree no es el único título; Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold y The Last Bounty Hunter vienen con la version original.
