Space Cowboy is a video game written by Scott Lamb for Atari 8-bit computers and published by Avalon Hill Microcomputer Games in 1983. [1]

Gameplay

Space Cowboy is a game in which the Space Cowboy maneuvers along a walkway shown in three-quarter perspective, avoiding blasts from wall-mounted lasers. [2]

Reception

Bill Wallace reviewed Space Cowboy in Space Gamer No. 70. [2] Wallace commented that "The action is idiotic, wooden, boring after only a couple of minutes of play. If you'd never seen Zaxxon the three-quarter perspective would be interesting, though it doesn't really contribute to play." [2]
