Mad Dog McCree Brings 'Live-Action' Shooting to Wii

June 16, 2009 10:45 AM

"Every cowboy sings his sad, sad song," according to Poison's beloved ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Now, thanks to publisher Majesco and developer Digital Leisure, modern-day Wii owners will have the chance to experience that truth first-hand.

You see, Majesco today shipped the Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack to North American retailers. Priced at $19.99, the Wii compilation delivers three of American Laser Games' "live-action" light gun classics--Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold and The Last Bounty Hunter--with added support for up to four simultaneous players.

And don't worry UK citizens, you'll soon be able to immerse yourselves in the antics of ~~wicky, wicky, wild~~ Wild West bounty hunting and saloon shootouts, as the compilation is slated to hit your shores on August 28 at a suggested price of 24.99 pounds.

Poison AND Escape Club in the same news post. I give you full pop culture marks.

This doesn't look like the Mad Dog McCree I knew, though - what was the Space Ace-type live-action quick-draw game?

  I think there was also reference to Will Smith's song.

  Mad Dog McCree was the very first CD game I ever played, on my uncle's computer. It was a light gun arcade game, with live-action FMV. The PC version used mouse, but same cheap sets, bad acting, cheesy dialogue, etc.

    The first CD-ROM game I ever owned. So bad, but so fun.

  I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Fast Draw Showdown.
