This is one of the most underrated nes games

Finally the cowboy is playing a cowboy game, great run Arcus

I used to play this game with my grandpa when I was a kid. We called it "thumb smoke" because your thumbs were usually smoking by the time you finished it. Thanks for the good memories.

I love that Ninjas were so much the thing in the 80s that they even put them in a game about the Old West :D

9:42 “We are on your side” Then proceeds to price gouge you $20000 for a gun

I loved this arcade game as a kid in the 80's! I can't even count the weeks I used my lunch money to go to the local arcade after school. Before school I would fill my back pack full of snacks to eat at lunch time. I was one of the first kids in my local arcade group to beat this game. Did so with $4.50 after I learned the patterns and enemy movements.

I found Mr. Arcus via Summoning Salt. You play a ton of great games from our childhood. I'm so glad I found this one. I've been looking for a decent playthrough of this game. It was one of my favorites as a kid. Thank you sir!

One of my favorite games growing up

Always excited when I get a notification that you posted a run.

The arcade is longer and more brutal than the nes version. I played a lot this game in the nes era

You are the best Arcus. #1

Thanks for reminding me again how much I stuck at nes games

Masterful....just masterful! I love your videos my man! You are one of the best speed runners I've ever seen. Gun smoke is near and dear to my heart. I've never gotten past level 5, but after watching this video, I'm confident that I can finish the entire game. Proper utilization of horses. That's what I picked up from this video. That's the key! Great job!

This game really brings me back, great run!

Arcus is surely one of the best streamers what I have ever followed and i just hope you will never get retired from the games or I will start crying :D

I like the added humming and whistling to the music you did. Adds a nice soothing presence to the video and music.

Really enjoyed watching a lot of your games done quickly. This was my last before bedtime. Subscribed and I Rang that Bell!

Hey bud this was the one game that drove me nuts playing as a kid still can't beat it. Plus I've watched several games over the past few days and dig the style mash mash mash clunk how ever you gotta do it keep it up. Watching you reminds me if my little cousins watching me play games. My first game was Bump N' Jump ! 👍👍

Sad that I missed this live, thanks for uploading on youtube!

Aww yes, the Tucson stage. Where I live :). Great run!

Always loved Western games, been playing Red Dead 2 and I remember playing this game when I was a child, had to take a look again for memories. Great run.

Losing the horse always made me sad as a kid :(

Watching Arcus play video games is like watching a pro guitar player, playing guitar. We can all pick up a guitar and strum the strings. Just like we can all pick up a controller and play a video game. It takes a true master to play games like Arcus plays them. It is through hard work and massive hours. No one picks these things up and are just this good at them. Sure there is a God given gift that can give someone an edge on skills in the world. I just don't like taking away from all the hard work and countless hours these people put into their craft! Video game playing at this level is a craft. It is a skill.

Hey look he is playing himself.

crazy how these vids all look like they were filmed recently. even crazier how long arcus has been speedrunning nes games.

As a kid, I thought you had to buy the posters in some levels. I didn’t say I was a smart kid.

Excellent play through! That was great. Subbing now

Arcus playing with Arcus, I love your videos bro

Love it, man!

Man I loved this game when I was a kid!!

See, I woulda did a speedrun of this, but it's soundtrack is just too amazing for words. (Capcom vs Konami: 8bit NES music war)

This was my favorite game as a kid on the nes

One of my favorites - awesome game

Gogo! "A good bzzt" :D I thought the bzzt was reserved for Ninja Gaiden bosses! Man, you are something else!

and here we go!

Красавчик, спасибо за видео!

Best in the West NES Game Ever!!! I always loved the song 🎵 ❤️ Joystick style was cool like 👍🏽 EXCELLENT WORK 💯

Not Lone Ranger. Marshal Matt Dillon from the TV show Gun Smoke. The Lone Ranger was something else.

You have my respect! I can’t beat this game without a Game Genie!

You represent Arizona very well my friend. Been watching you for years and always wondered if you were from Arizona or New Mexico. Had to be one or the other. And thanks for helping me dramatically improve my gaiden times.

I've gotten to Level 4 and can't get through it. Great job!

Arcus for President of the world

Loved this game :D

Even though I never beat lvl3 I absolutely loved this game back in the day.

The music and SFX are giving me bionic commando vibes.

Wow. This game was da bomb. Memories

speedrun of gun smoke we deserve

considero gun Smoke um dos melhores jogos do nes

Great job Kemosabe

I loved this game. Jackel was really cool to

I love this game, remember that I have never finished it. here he is speed running it like drinking a cup of coffee

Wow! If I remember this game back in the days means I'm OLD! I liked this game back when blockbuster barely started their business days!

This game still stresses me out!

Hicksville lmao so glad I remember this game

One of the hardest games I've played. Finished it only on emulator with save state. :)

Good job!

Gunsmoke. Fuck yeah. I remember this one. Gotta find them wanted posters ASAP

Amazing :)

Loved this game of course I had the max controller with the turbo buttons

What are the chances that I just finished watching the summoning salt commenting on your Ninja Gaiden speedrunning. Then I didn't even know you speed ran this and I just searched Gunsmoke speedrun and I see you! Goodshit

When i was i kid, i was turned off by the graphics of this game when i saw the box art. I didnt know there were horses in the game. I thought those were the characters' legs. Didn't play this until years later

This game was fun with the NES Max controller

Also, a cowboy playing a game as a cowboy against other cowboys? It's like a subliminal game genie code.

this game truly cowboy :) super fun and not easy

"YOURE NUMBER 9! YOURE NUMBER 9!!"

Arcus dresses like the game's protagonist, and looks like the shopkeep, minus the hat of course.

Real Cowboy Vs. Bad Cowboys

Yooooooo this game pissed me off so bad as a kid. Can't remember which boss I couldn't get past but I'll finally get to see the rest of the game 🙌 edit: after watching the run it was the chief at 11:09 I couldn't get past 🙄

Can’t help but imagine Arcus roaming the plains with six shooters on his waist.. Cross him and get speedran

Nice shootin' tex.

I want to see an R-Type speedrun!

Of course, Arcus would dominate this game...

Shooting straight forward in this game was such a pain. And could they have picked a more obnoxious background for the final battle? White bricks, when the bullets are white orbs?

Basically sunset riders prequel.

Hicksville haha. I love my childhood.

Read dead revolver (spiritual successor being read dead redemption) was initially made by capcom as a spiritual successor to this game.

They have to make a movie

That's a new world Record.

I've never gotten past devil hawk, this gave me anxiety.

Driving me crazy! What is “Messer smash”?

Just needed one day of Rest! Just like God ! @sarix5

I love this game! But I think it helped cause my carpal tunnel...worth it 👍

It takes me like 23 mins to get the first stage done and u get it done super fast I remember I suck at this game never passed the 2 level

Never finished this,so hard

"That's A Good Bzzzzt--" *Andrew Dice Glay Interrupts* "OH!!~"

Awesome! You play so well that the game looks easy, but it wasnt at all. Have you tried Ikari Warriors?

This game SCREAMS Bionic Commando 😂

Agora faz sentido o chapéu.

just did a 25.07 myself. Too many subweapon changes cost me, but I logged a deathless. Thought I beat you till I timed it. Back to the drawing board I guess.

All the bullets stress me out. This gets harder to watch the further along you get!

Pow! Good Pow.

What was a good CLUNK

Reminds me of ikari warriors imho an underrated game also.

Amazing the difference between these games back in the day was they were harder than Most Halos,Dooms and call of dutys.

mash mash mash

Anyone know there is a game that looks like gun smoke but the main dude dresses in himation (ancient greece clothes) and he also wield ranged weapons? P/s: not PS1 Hercules

GG.

Wow, why hasn't he come back to this? He has a real chance of challenging the WR. Less than a minute off.

You look like the shop owner of this game.

You have me saying blam now when I play lol
