High Noon (video game)

High Noon (Highnoon on the title screen) is a western-themed shoot 'em up game written for the Commodore 64 and published by Ocean Software in 1984.

The player takes the role of the good (white) sheriff in the American Old West.

The background music is “Do Not Forsake Me: The Ballad of High Noon,” from the movie High Noon, and arranged for the game by David Dunn.

In each level, the difficulty is increased: After each level there is a bonus duel, featuring the sheriff and an outlaw, requiring a fast reaction time from the player.

The stage is set in a field surrounding a central cave opening, from which outlaws may appear.
